2007-11-27 14:24:00
ArmInfo. Leader of National Unity party Artashes Geghamyan will
announce his candidature for president. A relevant decision was made
at the party presidium with participation of the heads of the party’s
territorial offices.
After the presidium, Artashes Geghamyan called a press conference
in which the members of the presidium grounded the necessity of
Geghamanyan’s nomination for president using sharp and even insulting
epithets addressed to the first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Thus,
NU Vice Chairman Aleksan Karapetyan said the aspiration of Levon
Ter-Petroysan and his supporters are quite different of public
interests. ‘They cynically speak of morality being a classical example
of corruption,’ A. Karapetyan said. On the whole, he is sure that
together with Artashes Geghamyan the country will find ‘the way to
the bright future.’
In his turn, representative of NU Shirak regional office Leva Galstyan
commented on an earlier made statement that ‘Geghamyan is a mine in
the opposition field> and stressed that Geghamyan is not a mine but
‘an intercontinental missile.’ Other supporters of Geghamyan praised
the ability of their leader to master economic and financial policy
best of all, to carry out the best analysis of world and regional
processes, to define the security ways for Armenia etc: Nevertheless,
the most important argument they brought in favor of A. Geghamyan
was the ‘big love for the motherland and the people’.
