One of Raffi Hovannisian's demands he presented to Serzh Sargsyan
during their meeting was to punish those responsible for rigging the
elections. A similar recommendation had been made by international
observers. Serj Tankian's letter also dwelt on this issue.
The demand to punish for rigging elections seems very relative in
Armenia. Logically, not those who rig the election should be punished
but those who benefit from the rigged election. The legislation of
a number of countries clearly sets that if fraud is committed in
favor of a force, the responsibility is with the party, which must
be consequently removed from the race.
In his reply to Serj Tankian written in the style of a wise father of
the nation denies that the elections were rigged. The only argument
in favor of recognizing the election outcome is the famous conspiracy
theory. Serzh Sargsyan noted that if he follows the path proposed by
Tankian and punishes the falsifiers and tries not to be a dictator but
people's president, it will be a mine planted under Armenia's future.
Perhaps, Serzh Sargsyan means that the protests in Armenia are part
of the famous conspiracy theory.
Whether conspiracy, color revolution or uprising it is not important
but Serzh Sargsyan did not respond to the demands of his voters and
dismissed fraud and refrained from punishing those guilty.
In Armenia, opposition parties will not achieve publication of lists
of voters. Yesterday, an influential NGO expressed such a requirement
stressing that if the lists are published, the frauds may be found
to have affected the outcome of elections. Almost all the candidates
say there are lots of people on these lists who were not in Armenia
during the elections. But for some reason only one party has these
lists - the ruling party that has access to public registers.
Who do Serj Tankian and Raffi Hovannisian call to punish? The
representative of the commission who ignored ballot stuffing or those
who gave already voted ballots to soldiers and took them to polling
stations? Or the ruling party which ordered fraud in its favor?
Serzh Sargsyan proposed that Raffi Hovannisian get ready for the next
election in 2018, hence closing the latest election topic closed.
Apparently, it was decided prior to elections to dedicate the year
2013 to Serzh Sargsyan. Probably, the centers of power have reached
consensus over Serzh Sargsyan.
After their decision, Robert Kocharyan said he would not hinder his
compatriot, Levon Ter-Petrosyan recalled his age, Putin decided there
was no need to visit Armenia not to ruin everything. That is why he
is surprised now that someone disputes results. This election is mine,
says Serzh Sargsyan, and this is the only argument of the party.
Only people didn't take part in the whole conspiracy. They decided
not to give away the election.
