DPA leader: It is hurtful to think that Armenian people have
forgotten their yesterday or they choose the least of two evils
ArmInfo. Leader of the Democratic party of Armenia Aram Sargsyan
considers the recent meeting of ex-President of Armenia Levon
Ter-Petrosyan with representatives of ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" strange,
he expressed his opinion at today’s press-conference in "Tesaket"
club.
"The situation is strange enough and unexpected for me. No one knows
what they discussed during a 40-minute meeting", DPA leader said and
added that in view of absence of specific information, different
assumptions can be made. A. Sargsyan hypothecate that it is
profitable for ARFD not to remember "the problems of the past years",
while it is profitable for ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan
"to forget" his own deeds (with respect to this party- ed.). Asked
about possibility of creation of an election bloc between ARFD and
the Armenian National Movement party, A. Sargsyan replied: "I rule
out nothing".
As for possibility of L. Ter-Petrosyan’s participation in the
forthcoming presidential election, A. Sargsyan recalled that the
"issue of nomination of the ex-president’s candidacy is still unclear
despite the attempts of Ter-Petrosyan’s relationship to reanimate him
as a political figure". "My attitude to his
personality and his organization is well-known. The people elected
him, indeed, in 1991, and this is a fact. However, if he enters the
political arena today, he can receive the voices only. The people’s
attitude towards him is also well-known. It is hurtfully to think
that the Armenian people have forgotten their yesterday or they
choose the least of two evils", Aram Sargsyan said.
