`It had to be so, they followed our example,' Garnik Margaryan, a
member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) and the leader of the
Motherland and Dignity Party, commented on the statement released by
the PAP today that they would not participate in the presidential
election and would not endorse anyone else in this manner.
According to Garnik Margaryan, `We also made a similar decision that
we wouldn't endorse anyone etc... and they followed in our steps.'
In response to our question whether he hadn't been surprised at the
PAP decision, Garnik Margaryan assured that he hadn't, `The PAP is a
part of the government; those are Serzh Sargsyan's games.'
As for what phase the PAP's cooperation with the opposition -
particularly with the ANC - is entering after that decision, Garnik
Margaryan couldn't say. He just stated that their political council
would convene tomorrow and they would have an answer to that question
tomorrow.
Let us remind that the Motherland and Dignity Party endorsed Levon
Ter-Petrossian's candidacy in the previous presidential election, and
it has decided neither to nominate its own candidate nor to endorse
anyone in this election.
