The National Democratic Union (AZhM) will put up its candidate for
the 2008 presidential election. The board recommended AZhM leader
Vazgen Manukian for the presidential election and instructed the
party administration to organize and implement nomination.
In reply to the question, whether the AZhM is capable of winning
the election, Vazgen Manukian pointed out two important factors,
enthusiasm and finances.
The AZhM meeting was attended by Arshak Sadoyan, the leader of the
Alliance of National Democrats (AZhD).
"We shall support a united candidate, be it Vazgen Manukian or
someone else, in case the question of nomination is settled," the
AZhD leader said.
The board instructed the party leader and administration to carry
on political negotiations on shaping a united political opposition,
"not ruling out continuation of negotiations until the first round
of the presidential election."
