Deputy Chairman of the "Republican Party of Armenia" Razmik Zohrabyan
informed "A1+" that the RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan will be
elected to the post of the chairman of the "Republican Party of
Armenia" on Saturday. The party will put forward his candidature
during the upcoming presidential elections. The chances of the
Party’s candidate to win during the elections is estimated more that
60 percent.
Besides electing the Chairman of the "Republican Party of Armenia"
and nominating him for the elections, the Party’s session has other
issues in the agenda to discuss: "Election of an executive body,
election of the representative board. They will make some legislative
amendments electing an executive body, members of the board, and at
the end they will nominate their candidate".
The nomination of the RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan will
not alter the strategy of the "Republican Party of Armenia". "We
have defined our strategy a year ago, during the NA elections. We
were waiting for the results of elections to get ready for the
presidential elections".
Razmik Zohrabyan considers Ter-Petrosyan a common candidate. "Another
presidential candidate is added to the list".
1200-1500 people will participate in the session. The "Republican
Party of Armenia" has not invited the leaders of the opposition
party to participate in the session, only the "Prosperous Party
of Armenia" and the "Armenian Revolutionary Party-Dashnaktsutyun",
as well as representatives of public organizations will take part
in the session. In fact, organizations supporting Serge Sargsyan’s
candidature will participate in the session.
