According to Republic Party executive member Suren Surenyants,
who was speaking at a press conference today, Haykakan Zhamanak
("Armenian Times") chief editor, political prisoner Nikol Pashinyan
has no competition in the parliamentary elections in the No. 10
electoral district.
"Nikol Pashinyan is the only candidate who has clearly formulated
his participation in the political bid," said Surenyants, who also
happens to be involved with Pashinyan’s pre-election campaign. The
opposition party member added, "If the elections are legitimate and
the governing authorities don’t exert pressure, I consider Pashinyan’s
victory to be inevitable."
Pashinyan’s victory is important for Surenyants also from another
standpoint: "Our public will prove with their vote that our prosecutors
and judges are people who make up cases and carry out orders."
Surenyants has no illusions about the carrying out of fair and just
elections, though, he has hope that the country’s governing leaders
will prove that they wish to change.
