The Political Council of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) today
convened a sitting to determine the format of HAK's participation in
February's election.
"The participants adopted a decision which will be published on
December 27," HAK Coordinator Levon Zurabyan said adding that they
are still holding consultations on the document.
HAK MPs Nikol Pashinyan and Hrant Margaryan did not participate in
the meeting.
When asked whether the opposition bloc was going to support Hrant
Bagratyan as a presidential nominee, Mr Zurabyan said, "The decision
will open all brackets and make everything clear for you."
With regard to HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan's decision not to run
for president, the HAK coordinator said, "Levon Ter-Petrosyan clearly
substantiated his decision. However, some media representatives and
political figures concluded that with the decision Levon Ter-Petrosyan
announced his intention to leave politics. He does not have such
an intention. Levon Ter-Petrosyan simply decided not to stand for
president."
When asked to explain the purpose of the speculations, Mr Zurabyan
said, "They obviously aim to discredit our electorate and the army of
our supporters. But I want to say that we are continuing our struggle
and we are determined to achieve our goal, i.e. to establish democracy,
constitutional order and the rule of law in Armenia.
