HOW WILL THE PRESIDENT BE ELECTED?

Lragir, Armenia
Sept 25 2007

The Armenian presidential election can have two developments about
which Member of Parliament Victor Dallakyan judged on September 25
at the Pastark Club. "There are two ways regarding the presidential
election. One is that the representative of the parliament majority
becomes president, and a monolithic government is shaped in Armenia.

Mind that there is the second way. If the representative of the
parliament majority does not become president, the head of state will
represent either the opposition or the neutral sphere, and in that case
a competitive government may occur in Armenia," Victor Dallakyan says.

He leaves it up to future analyses on the ensuing consequences.

Victor Dallakyan says several pro-government and opposition poles may
put up candidates, as well as a candidate of the neutral pole may
figure in the campaign. "By the way, the pole that may be created
by the opposition forces, in case of putting up a common candidate
could be the first president," Victor Dallakyan says. He thinks the
nominations by Dashnaktsutyun and Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination
may make the presidential election a more exciting event.

Victor Dallakyan says for him it is more important how the future
president will be elected rather than who will be elected. Dallakyan
says the external and internal challenges necessitate it, which make
a free and fair presidential election vital for Armenia because only
thereby can Armenia become competitive in the region.
