A lawmaker of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Artakh
Davtyan, has called for demonstrating respect to any decision the
Prosperous Armenia leader may have regarding the 2013 presidential
polls.
"We should demonstrate a respectful attitude to any decision by [PAP
leader] Gagik Tsarukyan. The Republican is ready to any scenario to
run for election, and it is important to us that the polls be held
on a high level," he told a news conference on Friday.
If nominated for presidency, Tsarukyan will differ from other
candidates, except, of course, President Serzh Sargsyan, Davtyan said.
Without elaborating on the incumbent president's chances or plans
for participating in the polls, the RPA lawmaker said he never met
a lawful opposition party in Armenia.
"Perhaps I have missed the moment, but I haven't seen what is thought
to be a biggest political force," Davtyan said, adding that none of
the PAP lawmakers have so far labeled themselves as opposition members.
As for the other opposition forces, Davtyan said he thinks they are
sensible enough to realize they have little chances of proposing
their own candidates separately.
"They are seeking allies. This accounts for the activeness, dialogues
and consultations," he added.
Davtyan noted that the Republican remains committed to its earlier
position of nominating their leader and incumbent President Serzh
Sargsyan on October 15.
"The other political forces are in political consultations and facing
uncertainties. Within the prescribed timeframes - 70 days before the
presidential election - the Central Election Commission is to issue
a relevant statement, which will herald the most active period of
the presidential election," he said.
