Recently the mass media have reported that Samvel Babayan supports
this or that candidate in the NKR presidential election, the press
service of the "Alliance" (Dashink) Party reports.

"Samvel Babayan had normal relations with all candidates and was on
good terms with them in Artsakh.

Samvel Babayan reiterated his statement of 1990 that Nagorno-Karabakh
citizens who left Artsakh have no right to interfere with the country’s
internal affairs. Samvel Babayan has not been engaged in Karabakh’s
political developments since 2004.

Therefore, the rumors are fabricated, this is mere misinformation.

Besides, in May 2007 the party’s political council decided not to
support any presidential candidate in Artsakh in 2007.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
