THEY MAY NEED NO ELECTION FRAUD

The first fall guest of the Azdak Press Club after the summer holiday on September 8 was Davit Shahnazaryan. His speech was on the upcoming presidential election in Armenia.
“Considering that the political system of Armenia is badly sick, it is clear why for the society and some organizations referred to as political parties and their leaders, struggle, political struggle will be possible in the presidential election in inverted commas, in the event referred to as a presidential election, only if the first president of Armenia participates in the political struggle. It is evident for both the forces which support and which are against Ter-Petrosyan and the society. This is a fact, as well as it is a fact that we have never had such a politician and statesman like Levon Ter-Petrosyan all through our history. This is a fact which many might dislike,” Davit Shahnazaryan says.
He thinks it should be so and does not think the rumors on Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination are directed from somewhere.
“There are a number of parties and people called the opposition, who are in reality the servants of the government. In reality, I think, besides the candidate of the government there will be pro-government candidates as well. I think it is self-evident, and it does not depend on whether Ter-Petrosyan will be nominated or not,” Davit Shahnazaryan says. However, he thinks there will be political struggle in the event called the presidential election only if the ex-president runs in the election.
“If he is not nominated, as I have already stated once, if there are no major changes in the Armenian opposition, there is no alternative to the candidate of the government. Struggle, if we consider it political, in authoritarian countries political struggle has a mutated meeting different from that in democratic countries. Yes, if there are no sudden changes, there will be no alternative to the candidate of the government,” Davit Shahnazaryan says.
