Ter-Petrossian or Sargsyan?
Via The Armenian Observer, blogger Artashes Boyajian expresses his concern with educated young Armenians planning to vote for either the prime minister, Serge Sargsyan, or former president, Levon Ter-Petrossian.
Artashes Boyajyan has written a couple of really interesting posts, asking why would anybody want to vote for either Levon Ter-Petrossian or Serzh Sargsyan, after taking an unbiased look at the failures of both candidates during their time in power, when it comes to key state-building issues like:
1. building a democratic state, with institutional separation of powers and functional checks and balances;
2. establishing (in reality, not on paper) a basically fair and transparent system of economic regulations;
3. promoting the rule of law and the respect of dignity and essential rights of Armenian citizens.
The blogger says he’s morally disturbed when otherwise mature and decent people support Levon Ter-Petrossian or Serzh Sargsyan.
