Union for National Self-Determination, headed by Paruyr Hayrikyan,
might not participate in the NA elections on May 12. Mr. Hayrikyan
claims they are unwilling to take part in a "souteneur campaign",
whereas "parliamentary elections" are already held.
This announcement was made at the party meeting on February 18.
"None of them doubted that elections won’t be held; it is but nonsense
to qualify all this procedure elections" maintains Paruyr Hayrikyan
and adds that in case certain forces in the political arena participate
in the elections they will be illegal.
In his words, these political forces under question represent material
values which contravene the principles of democracy.
By the way, after traveling overseas and meeting the best specialists,
Mr. Hayrikyan discovered the perfect formula of democracy under which
none of the votes will be considered null and void and elections must
be held every one or two years.
"Citizens must give the candidate a certificate that the latter is
their proxy in the state system. Do you see what a simple system it
is? But it took 4000 years to work", Hayrikyan claims.
Mr. Hayrikyan doesn’t intend to participate in the upcoming
parliamentary elections by majority system as in his opinion it is
vital to form a team in the Parliament instead of assembling around
an individual.
"We need a united front to make Armenia democratic", Mr. Hayrikyan
says.
