The elections were over after Armenian National Congress leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan and Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan
decided not to run for presidency, political and election technologist
Armen Badalyan told the reporters on Tuesday. He said these elections
will be rigged in several respects.
"Figures at February elections will be drawn. The first drawn figure
will be the number of voters. This time even the votes of opposition
figures will be falsified with the second place being given either to
Raffi Hovhannisian or Hrant Bagratyan to show the West that competition
exists in Armenia," he said.
Political analyst Gegham Nazaryan is also of this opinion, noting
that the outcome of elections is also predetermined with the only
issue being the ensuring of enough number of participants.
"These elections will be the most shameful and will be like the
elections in Turkmenistan when all knew that their beloved leader
will be elected. These elections are just like a regular event in
the country," he said.
Armen Badalyan said in reality the authorities would have liked Gagik
Tsarukyan to run for presidency and lose and not the elections be
determined 2 months before the elections.
"Serzh Sargsyan's influence will weaken after February 18. Each person
will work for himself with ANC and PAP gradually entering the fight.
In five years we will see a real fight," he said.
