    GAGIK TSARUKYAN - PRESIDENT

    The sociologist Aharon Adibekyan presented the results of another
    survey. About 1650 respondents were asked the question whom they
    find suitable for the posts of president and prime minister in snap
    elections. Only 32 percent answered this question. Gagik Tsarukyan
    was mentioned by most of them for the both posts of president and
    prime minister. Levon Ter-Petrosyan ranks two as president and six
    as prime minister. Robert Kocharyan is in the second place among
    suitable candidates for prime minister.

    Adibekyan says the population is mostly concerned about social
    problems, therefore the respondents view the president as someone
    who will solve social problems. However, this picture is incomplete
    and it would be complete if the present president and prime minister
    were also among the options of answers.

    Adibekyan said the survey was conducted this way to find out the net
    weight of the other forces. Adibekyan explains Robert Kocharyan's
    high rating as a prime minister by the economic growth under his
    office. He is perceived as an economist rather than a politician.

    As to the ANC, Adibekyan says the demand of snap elections by the
    Armenian National Congress is a sophistry. "The ANC asks if the
    government is ready for snap elections. If the government says yes,
    it admits being illegitimate, if no, it is a dictatorship. In both
    cases, whatever they say, the ANC will benefit. Snap elections are an
    invented problem which is, however, becoming the core of events. The
    ANC doesn't propose other key issues for discussion," Adibekyan says,
    noting that there are 15% of votes which the Armenian National Congress
    and the Bargavach Hayastan Party aspire to get. These are the votes
    for which the ANC is struggling.

    Adibekyan thinks the Bargavach Hayastan Party will benefit from snap
    elections the most because it deals with social issues. The ANC should
    know this better and should reject the idea of snap elections. In
    the scheduled elections the ANC will get more votes, he says.

    The sociologist said the rating of the Armenian National Congress is
    higher than Levon Ter-Petrosyan's rating, and the ANC will win if it
    nominates a new young candidate. However, the ANC has human resource
    problems and lacks powerful leaders.
