YERVAN. The ruling Republican Party of Armenia has demonstrated its
muscles, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said, adding that
this will not disappear in a couple of weeks.
“What will happen to Raffi Hovannisian? It will be the same what
was before. It is a political tradition in Armenia. Recalll Vazgen
Manukyan, Stepan Demirchyan, Levon Ter-Petrosyan. They all said that
the elections had been rigged,” head of the Caucasus Institute told
reporters on Thursday.
He stressed that he was present at the April 9 rally and saw different
people, even radicals who led everything to a scuffle.
Raffi Hovannisian received the same votes that Levon Ter-Petrosyan
and Arthur Baghdasaryan got in 2008, but these are not the votes of
Heritage party.
“These are the votes of protest,” Iskandaryan believes.
