Opposition alliance not disappointed by Tsarukyan's decision
21:40 - 12.12.12
The Armenian National Congress (ANC) does not find the Prosperous
Armenia leader's decision an attempt to quit the united opposition
camp, according to a lawmaker of the opposition alliance.
Speaking to Tert.am, Lyudmila Sargsyan said they do not absolutely
feel cheated by Gagik Tsarukyan's decision not to run for presidency
or back any candidate in the February election.
`We do not feel cheated at all. When we were conducting consultations,
we had no idea of what the end would be. I have said numerously that
we really seek to unite and consolidate the [opposition] camp, and act
jointly during the presidential election. But that naturally was only
a desire which might or might not come true, ' she said, when asked
whether the ANC, which was conducting political consultations with
Prosperous Armenia together with the opposition Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaksutyun, does not feel cheated after Tsarukyan's
decision
Sargsyan, who is the leader of the Social-Democrat Hnchakyan party,
said she doesn't see anything appalling about the PAP leader's
statement.
`Perhaps, listening to hi sinternal voice, he decided that nominating
himself will not be the right think. I see nothing appalling about
that. I think [President] Serzh Sargsyan will have a worthy and
winning challenger, so there's nothing to worry of,' she said.
