LEVON TER-PETROSIAN IS A DEAD POLITICIAN AND CANNOT BE BE A CANDIDATE, SAYS PARUYR HAIRIKIAN

During a meeting at the "Mirror" political club, Yerevan, head of "National Self-Determination Union" party Paruyr Hayrikian made comments on the on the roles and function of present Armenian statesmen and political figures, as well as the parliamentary and forthcoming presidential elections.
"There is no doubt that the parliamentary elections have been 'swallowed'. The world society has admitted that the elections had been held properly. In case such kind of elections are to be held again and if during the parliamentary elections the Republican Party and the 'Prosperous Armenia' party gained 70% of votes, this time they shall need only 51%. The question of the venerable Candidate is solved beforehand. We obey the Constitution, and the Constitution reminds us of not only the problem of presidential elections, but of elections in general. And the issue of the elections is already solved in prospect for 5 years at least. The authority belongs to 'Prosperous Armenia' and the Republican Party," said the party leader.
Referring to the candidacy of Levon Ter-Petrosian Hairikian said, "Ter-Petrosian is just another candidate, a dead one for a sensible elector, actually. A dead political figure cannot be a candidate. A politician, who has been 'dead' for 10 years, suggests his candidacy for the presidential chair. Electing the dead we become a dead people."
