WILL SARGSYAN LEAVE OFFICE OR REPUBLICAN TICKET?

In answer to inquiries whether Serzh Sargsyan will head the election list of the Republicans, the Republicans ask with a surprise who else could do that except for the president of their party.It seems that this spirit is logical, and the party list must be headed by the party leader because the parliamentary election is the most important political event for political parties.However, there is a circumstance that the Republicans must force Serzh Sargsyan to refuse to head the list. This circumstance is the office of president which Serzh Sargsyan occupies.Besides, Serzh Sargsyan stated in his New Year message that the parliamentary election is not a way to come to government, at least he thinks so. Besides, he states that he will do everything to allow Armenia to hold the best elections since independence.It means that he should not participate in the elections and feature on the Republican ticket, to act as the guarantor of the elections beyond all the parties. In other words, if the parliamentary elections is a to be or not to be matter for the government of Serzh Sargsyan, especially that as a president he officially got the votes of 52% of voters, while the official result of the Republicans in the recent elections was around 30-40%. In other words, Serzh Sargsyan is more than the president of the supporters of Republicans so he does not have the right to ignore at least the 12% who are not supporters of Republicans. Besides, Serzh Sargsyan should perhaps follow Hovik Abrahamyan's example who announced to resign from the post of speaker because he is wanted in the post of head of election staff of the Republican Party. In other words, Hovik Abrahamyan left the post of speaker to work for the party. In addition, at least he got Serzh Sargsyan's approval. Consequently, Serzh Sargsyan should display the same attitude to the comparison of his role in the parliamentary elections and his position. In other words, Serzh Sargsyan must leave the post of president and head the Republican list or leave the Republican list and stay in the presidential office.Serzh Sargsyan will thereby make an important step aimed at creating a precedent. Besides, he will indicate the sincerity of his commitment to free and fair elections. Although in Armenia nobody is that ingenuous, and everyone knows that the de facto state of things differs from the de jure state of things. JAMES HAKOBYAN
