THE ONLY GOAL - TO SATISFY ONE’S OWN AMBITIONS
- According to SAMVEL BABAYAN, “None of the freedom fighters had the right to stand next to L. Ter-Petrosyan in 2008, because he never made any statement on changing his standpoint with regard to the Artsakh issue.

Therefore, the candidate and the team desiring to return to power had not set any national or ideological task. The only goal some people could have pursued by appearing next to this particular candidate was just to satisfy their own ambitions.
It was obvious that some people would resign from posts during the tenure of Serge Sargsyan. And these were the people who, in the pre-election period, resorted to blackmail with the purpose of securing their position for an additional period of 5 years. As to the rest, they just followed L. Ter-Petrosyan immediately, because he was promising everything. Such is the reality.”

If you are an officer in the army then you should know that your only responsibility is to protect the country and its people from external enemies. Politics is not part of your duties so I would recommend that if you want to get involved into politics then take off your uniform and join the political arena. Armenians might have a chance to approve or disapprove (if they are given basic freedom to express their will) your political jargon mr. officer.

Arshak I think your statement (lost homeland) is somewhat over exaggerated,
nevertheless if that is how you feel then good for you. Concerning the photo unless I am totally blind, I see a two star general. Don't you Arshak?- ARSHAK-10

I somewhat agree with Babayan's statement. However, this is the same person who last year noted that the next president should be anybody biut a karabaghtsi. He himself a Karabaghtsi noted this statement due to the increased anti-karabagh sentiment among the Armenians in Armenia. However, Babayan later retracted his statement and aligned his "Dashink" party with the hanrapetakan.
PS: The Davitashen military base just before the elections were called up by their commander and told the following: "The elections are coming up, and you know who to vote for...Hanrapetakan" This is a recollection of a insiders account of who was told to vote for a specific candidate.

Dear Philip. That's an old photo... it's not even in color... When he WAS in the army. You're not blind He's in uniform alright, BUT in the photo... NOT in today's reality... NOT NOW. We have this "Tradition" I always see an old man's obituary in the paper the guy died at 80, the picture they print shows 30... No Your eyes are ok....- Philip Karayan
