YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Four candidates for the presidency
of the RA: the first president Levon Ter-Petrosian, the current prime
minister Serge Sargsian, the leader of "Orinats Yerkir" party Artur
Baghdasarian and the head of the National Democratic Union Vazgen
Manukian previously held important state positions. Reminding this
at the February 1 discussion, the secretary of the "Zharangutyun"
("Heritage") party Stepan Safarian said that out of these candidates,
Levon Ter-Petrosian is the only one to admit the mistakes he made
previously in conducting the personnel policy. In particular, he
expressed regret at having "imposed" Robert Kocharian and Serge
Sargsian on the Armenian people. According to the representative
of "Heritage", the former prime minister V. Manukian and the
former speaker of the RA National Assembly also frequently made
petrsonnel-related mistakes during their terms of office but they
prefer not to speak about it now. In the words of S. Safarian, Serge
Sargsian and his supporters have adopted the slogan "everything is
fine, fair marquise".
S. Safarian said that the name of the future prime minister is not
given definitely in the entourage of Serge Sargsian: there are 7-8
pretenders to this post: the mayor of Yerevan Yervand Zakharian, the
chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia Tigran Sargsian, member of
the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) board Karen Karapetian and some
others. This circumstance makes these persons to harness themselves
to work hard in the election campaign of S. Sargsian, as the one to
show the greatest activity will become prime minister.
