Khosrov Harutyunyan of the ruling Republican Party in Armenian
parliament does not rule out foreign forces' factor in the
assassination attempt against Paruyr Hayrikyan, the presidential
candidate shot and wounded in Yerevan at midnight.
"Everything is possible. I am far from thinking it is possible to
definitively answer that question now. But that was obviously is
a provocation against the statehood and democracy. I have no doubt
about that," he said.
Harutyunyan thinks a discontent with the existing environment of
tolerance could be behind the plot.
"This is the first time our society is not split over elections,"
said the MP.
He said the best public response to the provocation is to perform
its civic duty without embarrassment.
"By shooting Hayrikyan, they are trying to strike a blow at the idea
of independence in an attempt to show that Armenia is not viable. As
to who the author is, I am seeking the answer to that question myself.
The environment even did not suggest any hatred or unwillingness. This
is the first time we see contenders seeing their advantage in flinging
mud at a challenger," he said.
