Armenian opposition is unlikely to run for presidency in 2013 with a
united candidate, director of the Sociometer social polls center
Aharon Adibekyan said speaking to Tert.am, explaining it with the
opposition figures being very `ambitious'.
At the same time the pollster said the opposition parties understand
quite well that in case of going separately, they will split up the
opposition field, resulting in the re-election of incumbent President
Serzh Sargsyan. Adibekyan said his center has already started
preparing for the upcoming presidential polls.
`Our prior issue is to decide how the parliamentary elections reformed
the electorate, learn their preferences, issues, etc,' he said.
In any case the pollster said there is a big wave of disappointment.
`People who believed in the victory of the Prosperous Armenia party
voted for it but was disappointed with the defeat. The same is with
the ANC (Armenian National Congress), Heritage and ARF-D (Armenian
Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun),' he said, stressing that the
parties should not count on the disappointed people, relying on the
devoted ones only.
Adibekyan said their studies will be of good help to all the parties.
`Everyone knows that I am a professional, I do not lie, I do not
publicize false information,' he stressed, adding that he is unbiased
and gives objective assessments.
The pollster said political figures have already applied to him for
finding out what results they will achieve in case of being nominated.
