Vardan Oskanian: `I conceived of our steps and further struggle in a
different way'
Yerevan/Mediamax/. Former Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
commented on the PAP's decision not to take part in the presidential
elections today.
`The decision made by `Prosperous Armenia'party not to nominate a
candidate and support anyone in the presidential elections due in
February wasn't made easily. Naturally, there were different opinions
in the Political Council.
Months ago, I made my opinion public according to which the PAP should
take part in the presidential elections with its own candidacy taking
into account the party's weight, rating and the opportunities to be an
alternative and come to agreement on nominating a single candidate.
Taking into account the conjuncture in the domestic political field ,
the difficulties around the single candidate and Gagik Tsarukyan's
decision not to run for presidency, the Political Council of the PAP
thought it appropriate not to nominate its own candidate and not to
back any other candidate in the elections.
Thought I conceived of our steps and further struggle in a different
way, I respect the decision made', wrote Vardan Oskanian on his
Facebook page.
