Deputy of the National Assembly from the opposition Armenian National
Congress faction, Nikol Pashinyan, has called on citizens of Armenia
not to vote for the candidate for president from the ruling RPA, Serzh
Sargsyan.
Pashinyan's statement says, in particular: "The forthcoming event on
18 February called "presidential election in Armenia" is not in line
with the logic of the Constitution and even contradicts that. The
Constitution foresees that the people should decide who will be the
president of Armenia. The group that came to the power after the
bloody take-over on 1 March 2008, as well as thanks to the opposition
mistakes, has managed to created an unprecedented situation, when not
only the people do not decide who will be the president, but also the
resident, the man which captured the palace, has been trying to decide
what and how the people must do. Incidentally, Serzh Sargsyan does
not even hide his intention and is proud of his unlimmited
opportunities to invent figures...I should confess that the
forthcoming election will not resolve the problem of returning the
power to the citizens, and will even give point to the problem.
Stemming from the above mentioned, I call on citizens of Armenia not
to vote for one of the organizers of the take-over of 2008 - Serzh
Sargsyan. Coming forward against the disappointment fixed by the
Kocharyan-Serzh regime, citizens should strictly display their
position: either by voting for the opposition candidate or damaging a
ballot or not visiting the ballot stattion at all. By stating the fact
of political and civic deadlock establishment in Armenia, I call on
Armenia's citizens and our compatriots from Diaspora to be optimistic.
The Republic of Armneia has future and we have not yet refused
fighting for this future and passing free and happy Armneia to our
children. We have taken such an obligation, and we must bring it to
life".
