The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) will have to nominate its own
candidate during the 17 Feb 2013 presidential elections in Armenia,
otherwise the party risks to sing its swan song, Leader of National
Accord Party, Aram Haroutyunyan, said at today's press conference.
He also pointed out that the PAP's candidate will create problems
for the incumbent power. In this context, he stressed that the first
president of Armenia, Leader of the opposition Armenian National
Congress Levon Ter-Petrosyan will offer his hand to the PAP during
the presidential elections. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan has no chances for
victory, as his Armenian National Congress obtained only 7% of votes
during the parliamentary elections in 2012", Haroutyunyan said.
As regards the media reports about possible nomination of the second
president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan's candidacy, the politician
said that in case of nomination Kocharyan will undoubtedly become the
first in the presidential race. "If Kocharyan announces his intention
to run for presidency, even the incumbent President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan will doubt his own nomination", Haroutyunyan said.
He added that the incumbent authorities of Armenia have no chances
to remain at power given the critical socio-economic situation in
the republic.
