ArmInfo. "New Times" opposition party will support candidature of the
first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan in the coming presidential
election in Armenia, the statement of the party's board says, which
was presented at Armenia-Marriott hotel Thursday, by member of "New
Times" Party Board Hrachya Sarkisyan.
According to the statement, democratic transformations in Armenia
by way of election are impossible. They are only possible by wave of
national movement, which is headed by Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Citizens
worried in the country's future mustn't vote for the authority's
representatives and the candidates who serve them in the election. "We
support the movement which has an aim to free the country from the
present authority, that is, the all-national movement in Armenia. The
movement was started by the participation of "New Times", "Alternative"
movement, and "Republic" party on the eve of the parliamentary election
in 2007", the statement of "New Times" says.
To recall, Aram Karapetyan, who got more than 40 000 votes (over 3%)
in the presidential election in 2003 and an honorable place for an
election debutant-the fourth place, was not allowed to participate in
the 2008 election by the decision of the Visa and Passport Department
of RA Police.
The latter refused Aram Karapetyan a certificate of permanent residence
on the territory of Armenia in the last 10 years. The Court of 1st
instance of Kentron-Nork Marash community in Yerevan and, later,
the Court of Appeal defeated A. Karapetyan's claims.
To recall, on February 12 "Heritage" party, headed by Raffi
Hovannisian, officially declared about its support to Levon
Ter-Petrosyan's candidature.
