THE VICIOUS CIRCLE AND CORRUPTION ARE CONNECTED WITH SERZH SARGSYAN, RUBEN HAKHVERDYAN SAYS
February 21 2013
According to the artist, the bridges between the people and Serzh
Sargsyan have been burnt for a long time. www.aravot.am asked
the beloved artist, songwriter and singer Ruben Hakhverdyan what
he thought of the 2013 presidential election. We also noted that
people at yesterday's rally of Raffi Hovhannisyan had danced to the
song "The Wind of Mountains." He said that he hadn't participated
in the rally, because he had a concert in Lachin, along with a
few songwriters and singers. "The people there are in such a bad
condition, but I certainly called and have information, I know
that Raffi won objectively. I am close to our environmentalists;
they were holding a separate demonstration, unfortunately, I wasn't
able to participate in their demonstration either. I imagine what
condition Serzh Sargsyan is in. Why, he knows that he hasn't won;
how will he preside over this country, so to say, after that?" In
response to our question whether he thought that all the bridges
between Serzh Sargsyan and the people were burnt, Ruben Hakhverdyan
said: "Why, they have been burnt for a long time already; how long
can one bear this clownishness? I understand that one half says
the Russians are behind him, the others say something else. Well,
shouldn't our people have their say? We are an independent country,
aren't we?" Did he follow the election campaigns of the candidates;
is he aware of their programs? The artist said that he hadn't,
and he hadn't gone to vote either. "In my opinion, Raffi is not a
plaster saint, but the man was elected objectively. By the way,
I have always said in interviews: 'Anyone, but Serzh Sargsyan,'
because that vicious circle and corruption are directly connected
with Serzh Sargsyan. How can he struggle against himself?" As for
selling votes for 5000 drams, our interlocutor thinks: "It is a sign
of ignorance and backwardness; those people are so disappointed that
they think Serzh Sargsyan will win this way or another, but who said
that, huh...? It was proved that it is not so; I was proud of those
people at last, because they didn't behave like serfs. The residents
of Gyumri proved that this town exists, and Gyumri is basically the
capital, and Yerevan proved this time that Yerevan is also a city,
after all; Raffi won in Yerevan too." Gohar HAKOBYAN
