Election candidate Ruben Hayrapetyan will no longer respect his friend Samvel Alexanyan, if the latter agrees to participate in a political debate with Nikol Pashinyan.

"Let Levon Ter-Petrosyan sit down with Samvel Alexanyan and Nikol," said Hayrapetyan.

Hayrapetyan says he is ready for a political debate with the first to tenth candidates on the Armenian National Congress's (HAK) proportional party list.

Ruben Hayrapetyan doesn't want to debate with his opponent Gayane Arustamyan at precinct N 1 because she is a woman. "I understand that she is like Nikol. It's scary. She might scratch me."

Ruben Hayrapetyan says he would like to debate without recalling nicknames or people who are deceased. However, he is aware that the leading figures of the HAK won't agree to that "because they know that they can't debate with me".

Hayrapetyan also clarified why he took back his word to not run in the elections. It turns out that he had information according to which First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan had intentions to run in the first precinct. Journalists informed him that the HAK leader wasn't running in the elections.

"He got scared," said Hayrapetyan.

Ruben Hayrapetyan also responded to his poor friend Samvel Alexanyan's request and transferred money to his bank account so that Alexanyan could take care of his expenses. "I have transferred 50,000 drams. I don't have more than that."

When asked whether he has turned into Levon Ter-Petrosyan's victim by running in the elections for deputy, Hayrapetyan literally said: "I never become a victim, but those who deal with me do become victims."
