But those candidates don't know anything about it.
Blocs and formats of the opposition field "Justice", "17+" etc. seems
to have exhausted themselves after Constitutional referendum of
last year. Now the opposition looks for new "formats", the union of
right powers, civil movement etc. It became known lately that a new
public organization would be formed in the near future. According
to some information that new organization which consists of some
politicians of "17+" format, try to form a new format on the eve
of upcoming parliamentary elections. And the members of the format
will be famous figures in the "17+" format. The oppositionists are
going to form a new format the core of which will be two politicians
famous in the society; the NDU leader Vazgen Manoukian and "Heritage"
leader Raffy Hovhannisian.
These two politicians can lead the people. It is even spoken that it
will be an ideal version if V. Manoukian and Raffy Hovhannisian join
in the coming parliamentary and why not, presidential elections as
the candidates of the RA President and Prime Minister. Yesterday we
tried to find out how these conversations are true and whether such
a close collaboration is possible between above -mentioned parties.
The secretary on political issues of "Heritage" party Vardan
Khachatrian said that it is too doubtful. "I can't say, there are
such certain discussions.
There have been contacts in general". As regards V. Manoukian he
said that information about possible bloc between his party and
R. Hovhannisian's are from the sphere of fantastic, especially when
it is too late to speak of those elections. "These are unserious
conversations". Anyway Mr. Manoukian said; "There are different
correlations inside the opposition. Speaking of the elections is
meaningless now but there are discussions of different configurations
among the oppositionists. There are discussions in which I take
part. I can't say anything more."
