“WEST SUPPORTS KARABAKH CLAN”
Support A1+!Hmayak Hovhannisyan, also talked about the opposition leaders, who collected only 2-3 percent of the votes during the parliamentary elections and talked about putting forward their candidatures during the presidential elections.
Mr Hovhannisyan said that the opposition faces the potential problem of Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s return. His return to the political field may be justified by the fact that the latter had nothing in common with the negative developments in the country during the last 10 years.
According to Mr Hovhannissyan, Ter-Petrosyan had a number of advantages and inspired alternative expectations. When he was the head, there was no split in the country and Artsakh was an inviolable conception for the people having power, while today “speaking against the people from Karabakh is a necessity in the society”.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan was not sure that Ter-Petrosyan wanted to return since “I do not see that people miss the “Armenian Pan-National Movement” party, which was felt during Karen Demirchyan’s possible return to the political field”.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan does not consider Arthur Baghdasaryan, Leader of “Orinats Yerkir” party to have much chance to become president. “If Serge Sargsyan gets tired and decides to give space to the “Orinats Yerkir” party, then Baghdasaryan will have more chances. Maximum Baghdasaryan may pass the second stage and will have to get ready for the next parliamentary elections”.
The surprise of presidential elections will be not in the opposition field but in the government field: only one political party will nominate Serge Saragsyan as an alternative candidate.
