YEREVAN. - Opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) member
Armenian National Movement Party Board member Hovhannes Igityan is not
of the view that, by running in the forthcoming presidential
elections, opposition Freedom Party Chairman-and former PM-Hrant
Bagratyan and opposition Heritage Party Chairman-and former FM-Raffi
Hovannisian are helping the authorities and are playing into their
hands. Igityan stated this during a press conference on Monday.
He stressed that just the opposite is the case, as Bagratyan and
Hovannisian will create difficulties for the authorities. He added
that boycotting an election is much harder than running in it with a
candidate.
Also, he argued that even though ANC leader and First President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan decided not to run in the upcoming elections, he did not
leave politics at all. Hovhannes Igityan stressed that, owing to
Ter-Petrosyan, Armenia's body politic is now able to speak more boldly
on a number of matters.
