“With a sudden kick, Hayrikian scores an own goal”

What has happened to Hayrikian is a classic example of self-destruction, the leader of Armenia’s Communist Party Ruben Tovmasian said at the meeting with journalists today. “After his changeable behavior in 24 hours when he submitted and then withdraw his application, I can only say that Hayrikian spent those 17 years in prison as an ordinary prisoner. With a sudden kick, Hayrikian has scored an own goal”.

Tovmasian discussed the domestic political situation, saying that nowadays  institute of president has lost its value to such an extent that just about everyone wants to become president. In his opinion, the unification of the three opposition candidates is impossible for one reason – their haughtiness.
