YEREVAN. – The calm course of Armenia’s forthcoming presidential
election went awry Thursday as a result of the assassination attempt
against one of the presidential candidates, namely, opposition National
Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan, Zhamanak daily
reports.

‘”Find the person who stood to gain from this crime,’ the
criminologists say. [But] it seems one thing is somewhat certain:
from the political vantage point, the authorities’ [presidential]
candidate [incumbent President] Serzh Sargsyan could not have stood
to gain from what occurred because, in fact, the election-which he
had pledged to make the best, to hold consistent with international
standards-is being drenched in blood.

As for who stands-or stand-to gain from such development of events,
this is already-[and] certainly-within the subjective framework of
assumptions and analyses. [But] there is no need to hurry; the further
developing events should be followed,” Zhamanak writes.
