ELECTION OF MONEY TAKES PLACE, ANC REP SAYS
16:22 ~U 07.05.13
Elections as such do not take place in Armenia, it is election of
money, Armenian National Congress faction MP Lyudmila Sargsyan told
the reporters on Tuesday. She said the authorities are getting used
of social condition of the people.
"As far as the opposition is not working with such methods , it
gathers so small percent of votes while the authorities are every time
being reproduced. The citizen in reality would have been ready for
free election if it lived in more or less secure and free country,"
she said.
Sargsyan also said it is strange that the authorities gathered more
than 50% in case when people hate them. She said this circumstance
shows that "money factor worked again."
As to why the ANC failed to overcome the 6% barrier, Sargsyan tied
it with their passiveness at presidential elections.
"Besides, during these years many have left the country, among them
are our associates as well. People leaving the county are those who
are against the ruling authorities," she said.
Asked whether Barev Yerevan and Prosperous Armenia party should take
or waive their mandates like ANC did in 2009, Lyudmila Sargsyan said
each political force has its priority.
"We waived for political reasons. At that moment we did a right thing
but we neither distributed them. Today they are to decide what to do,"
she said.
She also noted that the ANC faction has not discussed yet the steps
to oust the authorities. She said it is necessary to wait until the
reshufflings in the political field end.
