YEREVAN. – Armenia’s presidential nominee, political scientist
Andreas Ghukasyan issued a letter of petition to other presidential
candidates-namely, Aram Harutyunyan, Arman Melikyan, Hrant Bagratyan,
Paruyr Hayrikyan, Vardan Sedrakyan, and Raffi Hovannisian.

“In actual fact, the body politic [of Armenia] is deprived of its
Constitution. Today, we have a right to form a new political agenda
for Armenia. At the same time, the responsibility to determine the
country’s political future is placed upon us.

I [hereby] propose to jointly leave the campaign for the [presidential]
elections, which the [ruling Republican Party] RPA has designed and
predetermined, and to unanimously launch a universal civil movement
for radical changes.

The body politic awaits practical steps from us. I [therefore] call
to start, with a united withdrawal [from the presidential candidacies]
as of January 15 of this year, a new political situation in Armenia,”
Andreas Ghukasyan’s letter reads in particular
