Post-Election Bloodshed Possible
ArmInfo reports that following warnings already issued by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation — Dashnaktsutyun, another presidential candidate –former NKR presidential adviser Arman Melikyan — says he fears that violent clashes between supporters of Serge Sargsyan and Levon Ter-Petrossian are possible.
He said at Hayatsk club today that before starting of the campaign he expected tension between supporters of the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisyan, but one could hardly predict that contradiction will be so radical and implacable. They hate each other and this is very dangerous, Melikyan thinks. He also added that there is real threat of clash up to bloodshed, as Ter-Petrosyan’s supporters say they are ready to go to the end in the fight for power, and Serzh Sarkisyan’s - to preserve power. In this context Arman Melikyan is disappointed for the Heritage party decision to join Ter-Petrosyan.
