YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian authorities have
already implemented part of their reproduction program in the May 12
parliamentarian elections. As for the other part, it is envisaged
to be implemented during the 2008 presidential elections. As Aram
Mayilian, an MP of the former RA Supreme Council, mentioned during
the discussion held on September 7, that scenario assumed from the
very beginning that the force making a majority as a result of the
parliamentarian elections "will bring its chairman to power." According
to him, a new leader, who will be accepted by the people, is necessary
"in order to spoil the game" of the authorities. Giving the name of
Levon Ter-Petrosian, the first RA President, in connection with the
forthcoming presidential elections, in the words of A. Mayilian,
cannot shake the bases of the current political system.
To oppose, Aram Manukian, a member of the administration of
the Armenian National Movement party, mentioned that pessimistic
people should not be involved in politics. He expressed conviction
that Armenia will go to a shift of power without agitations, as the
necessity for it has already matured: the country has been left out of
international proceedings, it has become a tool in the hands of Russia.
