YEREVAN, JUNE 10, NOYAN TAPAN. "The only efficient way to overcome
the home political situation formed in Armenia is holding of special
parliamentary and presidential elections," Ruben Hakobian, a deputy
of the former Supreme Council, who has been lately expelled from
ARFD, stated at the June 10 press conference. According to him, the
"sad tradition" of rigging elections and formation of illegitimate
authorities is the basis of all negative public-political phenomenon
of the present. Now, according to him, it is time to violate that
tradition and to hold normal, civilized elections. For that, as
R. Hakobian mentioned, President Serge Sargsian and his environment
should show a political will and agree to holding of special
elections. "In case of agreeing the current President will become
the best pro-state figure, a national hero," R. Hakobian said.
According to him, the assertion of some pro-governmental figures that
the people is not ready for fair, free elections is a manifestation
of hypocracy. The people, as R. Hakobian asserted, is always ready
for normal elections, while part of the authorities constantly tries
to buy, to pervert, to intimidate them.
R. Hakobian added that unless special elections are held in the
coming one or two years the deficit of power's legitimacy will deepen,
"and the consequences will be deeper than on March 1."
