OLD COMMUNIST SEES NO SENSE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN ARMENIA

At its plenary session on December 29, 2012, the Communist Party of
Armenia (CPA) decided against nominating its candidate in the 2013
presidential election or supporting any of the presidential candidates.
"There is no sense in nominating a candidate when all the resources
are employed in the incumbent president's favor - even Cheburashka
[Topple; Tumbler] is 'employed'. We are not going to waste our money.
Nor do we have money to waste," Ruben Tovmasyan, CPA Secretary told
journalists on Wednesday.
He is sure that the presidential election will not be of benefit
to Armenia.
"There will not be an end to poverty, unemployment and emigration. We
see the election campaign - one at the barber's, another promising,
still others not leaving their offices. If the system does not change,
the people are not captives. They must nominate their leader and take
to the streets," Mr Tovmasyan said.
Asked about the March 1, 2008 events, when people took to the streets,
he said, "The leader was to blame."
"They feared and ran into their homes. If they had remained with
the people on March 1, everything would have been different on March
2. If you lead the people, why do you leave them?"
