Merujan Ter-Gulanyan: People have no complaints (video)
A miracle has occurred for the first time in the campaigning [for elections] over the past 25 years. Everyone said what they had,” says writer Merujan Ter-Gulanyan. The publicist says the results of the Sunday vote did not surprise him. “I often talk to people. What was to happen has happened,’ he said. The writer is surprised that the Yelk (Way Out) alliance scored more votes in the elections than the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun). “Yelk is an opposition force. It is good that we have an opposition political force in the National Assembly,” he said. Unfortunately it was impossible to avoid bloody incidents, but such incidents occur in other countries as well. “Anyway, we held fair elections in the past 25 years,” said Merujan Ter-Gulanyan. The writer is sorry for some political forces that were unable to pass the electoral threshold. “I would like to see Hrant Bagratyan in the National Assembly again.” Likewise, he would like the ORO alliance to take seats in the new parliament. Merujan Ter-Gulanyan does not blame their failure on people. “Citizens got acquainted with their platforms and voted for the force they wanted.” The write believes that no bribe was distributed this time and people are content with the results.
