Speaking to the Radio Liberty, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF)
Bureau representative Hrant Margarian said the prosecutor general
has no right to found political parties, directly or indirectly,
referring to the news that Armenia’s Prosecutor General Aghvan
Hovsepian stands behind the foundation of the Union for Armenia Party,
Noyan Tapan reported.
He also said that some people in Armenia think they are “a feudal”
of a marz (province). “I am speaking about the Aragatsotn marz,”
Margarian added.
He also mentioned he would not seek a presidential nomination in the
2008 presidential election but did not rule out he would be included
in the ARF list in the parliamentary election due in 2007. He also
noted several businessmen will also be included in the list.
Margarian said he did not consider the Prosperous Armenia and the
Union for Armenia parties as ARF’s rivals in the elections.
Speaking of the political situation after the Orinats Yerkir party left
the ruling coalition, Margarian said nobody was pleased by that fact.
“The coalition is currently made up of the ARF, Republican Party and
the president,” he concluded.
