www.aravot.am inquired of Samvel Khudoyan, a psychologist, whether
the fact that Levon Ter-Petrossian had not nominated his candidacy
had caused stress among the Congress members or not, or whether Gagik
Tsarukyan's decision had put the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) members
under stress. The psychologist assured that he for one didn't have such
patients yet, and that the people who turned to him were under chronic
stress, hadn't had, let's say, sexual relations for a long time, were
neurotic patients. "It seems to me that the Congress members treated
the decision with understanding, because the reason was clear and
understandable. If a person feels that he will not win, he has no
chances, Levon Ter-Petrossian feels he cannot win, why should that
person make unnecessary expenses? As far as Tsarukyan is concerned,
I think there was an internal agreement. The whole society is under
stress because of the election, because of the feeling of unfairness.
People are nervous. When you watch a movie and see an unfair thing,
you feel nervous inside; it is already stress. The PAP members were
stressed out, when charges were laid against Vardan Oskanian. Why did
they lay charges and stuff like that? When they hear that they are
really stressed out. The stress caused by unfairness is great. There
are social strata who take unfairness hard."
The psychologist assured that this presidential election will hardly
cause new stress for the society, "There won't be events like those
in 2008."
It turns out that the biggest stress related to politics for the
society in recent history was caused by Levon Ter-Petrossian in 2008.
According to him, it was great stress, when the people heated up,
got excited and then they were sent home. "That is the very unfairness
stress. The people realized that they had been deceived." We asked to
clarify whether they felt deceived by Levon Ter-Petrossian, he replied:
"Both he and the other deceived. There was an unfair election; they
took an unfair attitude. And the feeling of unfairness, I think,
is one of the most serious stresses."
