In a news conference on July 4 Member of Parliament Victor Dallakyan
said this government is a provisional government and is a compromise
between the president and the prime minister. According to Victor
Dallakyan, the government is divided by struggle for power. On the
other hand, the president who would hate to retire at a young age,
tries to assert his influence, on the other hand, the prime minister
aspires to absolute power and tries to make his power whole.

Victor Dallakyan does not think the prime minister will agree to have
the president become prime minister if he becomes president, but he
does not rule out that after the presidential election of 2008 the
prime minister, the parliament majority and the president will be from
the same political party. However, Victor Dallakyan reminds the
experience of the Republic Union led by the All-Armenian Movement in
1995 when the monolithic government transformed in a very short period.
Victor Dallakyan thinks the government will nominate two presidential
candidates. One is Serge Sargsyan, the other will be named by Robert
Kocharyan, and according to Victor Dallakyan, it will be the person who
abstained in the voting to the law on television and radio. Republican
Davit Harutiunyan abstained.

Victor Dallakyan also stated that the common candidate of the
opposition is a political technology of change of government, and if
the parliamentary election taught the opposition a lesson, it can be a
serious opponent for the presidential candidates put up by the
government. `However, the constitution vests uncontrollable power in
the parliament majority and its prime minister. The president works as
a British queen for the parliament majority and the prime minister.’

Victor Dallakyan also stated that the parliament majority is highly
relative, there are different branches even within the Republican
majority, which will be revealed in the presidential election. Victor
Dallakyan does not expect a surprise from the NKR presidential election
and does not think it will influence the Armenian presidential election.

Ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan is rumored to run in the presidential
election. Victor Dallakyan says the first president has not announced
publicly or in another way that he will run in the election. He thinks
it would be more correct if first Levon Ter-Petrosyan made a statement,
then the parties and politicians discussed his nomination.
