“I SHALL NOT BREAK FENCES AND SMASH HEADS”
“If I see that votes are tampered, I will do what I have been doing so far. Being well aware of my rights, Constitution, the country’s laws, international laws and international legislation, I will take all efforts stemming from the legislation. I shall take the track of demonstrations, walkouts, piquets and trials,” Levon Ter-Petrossian said during today’s press conference.
“Each voter should protect his vote. You shouldn’t rely on me to protect all votes. Besides, the relevant bodies-the government, the Constitutional Court, the Prosecutor General and the Central Election Commission should take take measure to prevent rigging. They should take every measure to protect people’s votes,” Levon Ter-Petrossian says. According to him, nothing will change in the country until this consciousness becomes established.
I am not going to break fences (he hinted at Vazgen Manukian in 1996). I am not going to seize buildings, smash the head of the NA Speaker. He failed for that reason. In 1996 he got 41-42 percent votes, in the next election-13 percent and finally in 2003-0.9 percent. This was the attitude of people towards his terrible blow to the state. People do not accept this style of work,” Levon Ter-Petrossian said.
“Vazgen Manukian thinks that in 1996 he was elected president. I respect his opinion and belief. However, politics is neither opinion nor belief. is a legal process connected with the state. After the elections Vazgen Manukian appealed to the Constitutional Court and submitted the records of over 1000 polling stations but he was unable to prove,” Levon Ter-Petrossian said.
“There were inaccuracies in some records. Thousands of such inaccuracies can be found in every election.
“It is a legal process. International observation mission observed irregularities, drawbacks in some polling stations, but they endorsed the outcome of the election,” Levon Ter-Petrossian says. According to him, international observers did not recognise the elections of Albania and Belarus, but they recognized the elections in Armenia in 1996.
