YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, NOYAN TAPAN. "Robert Kocharian is gradually losing
his power, as oligarches and officials support Serge Sargsian." This
opinion was expressed by Manuk Gasparian, the Chairman of the
Democratic Way Party, at the press conference, which was held on
August 16. In his conviction, the ARF Dashnakysutiun will support
the candidature of Serge Sargsian in the forthcoming presidential
elections.
After the parliamentary elections, according to Manuk Gasparian,
the opposition is in "knock-out". And the political forces, which
have united around the idea of nominating the candidature of Levon
Ter-Petrosian, the RA first President, in the forthcoming presidential
elections, according to the Chairman of the Democratic Way Party,
are merely hindering the unification of the opposition.
Manuk Gasparian also mentioned that the Democratic Way Party is for
the idea of taking part in the presidential elections with one common
candidate, however, he is sure that the issue of a common candidate
will not find a solution.
