YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, NOYAN TAPAN. Today Armenian society is not
ready for the forthcoming presidential elections. Sociologist Aharon
Adibekian stated at the October 24 press conference. According to
him, "the people is not so interested in politics yet due to being
engaged in getting winter provisions." Besides, according to him, no
activization of political moods is expected among people yet, as the
New Year is ahead. "But for the New Year, the political field would
be more active and eventful in the months preceding the elections,"
A. Adibekian said.

According to the sociologist’s observation, it is still early to speak
about the ratings of the possible candidates for presidency. However,
according to his calculations, Serge Sargsian’s rating makes the half
of RPA’s rating, and Levon Ter-Petrosian’s rating made nearly 3.9%
as far back as 10 months ago.
