YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Vazgen Manukian, the Leader of the
National Democratic Union, and a candidate running for the post of the
RA President, is conducting negotiations with the ARF Dashnaktsutiun,
Zharangutiun (Heritage) parties and other political forces on these
days with regard to the tactics in the forthcoming presidential
elections. As Samvel Shahinian, the Head of the pre-electoral
headquarters of Vazgen Manukian, stated at the press conference
held on February 6, it is expected that those negotiations will
have their results in the second stage of the elections, in which,
in his conviction, Vazgen Manukian will, certainly, take part with
the candidate of the authorities.
Samvel Shahinian gave a negative answer to the question of whether
it is possible for the Chairman of the National Democratic Union to
remove his candidature in favour of Vahan Hovhannisian, the candidate
nominated by the ARF Dashnaktsutiun. And in response to the question
of whether the contrary variant is possible, that is to say, the
candidate of the ARF Dashnaktsutiun will leave the further struggle
in favour of Vazgen Manukian, the speaker answered: "Why not?"
