“On February 18, there is going to be an electoral revolution in the Republic of Armenia, with the help of which the nation is going to destroy the system of the country’s principality, customs and power, that has been ruling Armenia 20 years ago.” This is what announced the leader of the “Heritage” party and presidential candidate Raffi Hovhannissian.
In the interview with a journalist the director of the Regional Studies Center Richard Kirakosyan expressed his opinion about Hovhannissian’s speech.
“My reasons for optimism are the general trends, and not exactly the day of February 18, because even in case of fair elections, I am not sure that this “electoral revolution” is going to take place.”
