Valerie Gordzunian, the former owner of the Cafe de Paris in Yerevan
who is now back in France, told Hetq that French-Armenians are
following the presidential election campaign in Armenia with great
interest.
"We know everything about elections in Armenia. What will take place
next month isn't a real election. Serzh Sargsyan will become president
again since he has no competition. They removed Vardan Oskanian from
the running. Everyone knows it," said Gordzunian.
The businesswoman said that Armenians in France are more concerned
about their own problems and pay little attention to those of Armenia.
"Armenians have become a bit sick and it shows everywhere. Believe me,
it's a sign of impending danger for our future."
Gordzunian stated that the diaspora's main issue remains the
recognition of the genocide.
"Everyone knows that the oligarchs rule in Armenia. Those concerned
understand that there is no democracy in the country. The diaspora
thinks that people in Armenia must fix their country themselves. But
what are the people in Armenia doing? No one knows that better
than you."
