ArmInfo. "It would be more honest if some of the so-called
oppositionists directly supported Serzh Sargsyan" Leader of the
People’s Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan said at the rally of the
supporters of the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
According to him, for some of the so-called opposition party leaders
the participation in the presidential election is an excellent occasion
to bargain with the country’s present authorities. "Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination completely mixed up the authority’s cards,
and that is why, the first president became a target for criticism on
the part of the country’s top leadership and the media serving them",
S. Demirchyan said. He emphasized, that PPA without remorse criticized
the mistakes Levon Ter-Petrosyan did during his presidency. However, he
drew the attention of those present to the fact that the first
president himself admitted his mistakes, which the present Armenian
leadership never did and never does. S. Demirchyan expressed confidence
that the closer the Election Day comes, the more often high speeches
will be heard on the necessity to hold them in accordance with
democratic standards. But most of all, people who more than once rigged
elections in Armenia, will make such speeches. "No matter they say the
question of the Armenian authority was settled during the parliamentary
election, the coming presidential election give us a real opportunity
to change the situation in the country and we have to use this chance",
S. Demirchyan said.
