YEREVAN. – Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party will run in the 2013
presidential elections with the candidate who will be the most
competitive from all candidates, Heritage’s MP Zaruhi Postanjyan said
during a press conference on Friday. And she noted that this candidate
is Party Chairman Raffi Hovannisian (PHOTOS).
`We positively asses the idea of a united presidential candidate [for
the opposition], but we do not see [Armenian National Congress] ANC
leader [and First President] Levon Ter-Petrosyan in this role.
We also rule out [supporting] the nomination by the incumbent and
second presidents [Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan respectively],
who did not meet the expectations over the course of these years.
In other words, we rule out [supporting] the
Ter-Petrosyan-Kocharyan-Sargsyan triangle in the presidential
elections,’ said the MP.
Also, Postanjyan noted that she did not believe they will not run in
the presidential elections without a candidate, but she expressed a
view that this candidate must be a united candidate under the
oppositional format and the nationwide movement alike.
