Today political scientist Yervand Bozoyan predicted that the ANC
would not have its own candidate for the presidential election, but
would rally around a certain pole, a certain program. www.aravot.am
inquired of Vahagn Khachatryan, a member of the ANC, whether he
considered the political scientist's prediction possible. "There are
no such discussions in our organization. There are discussions on
general ideas, not on persons. The thing is to rescue the country from
this situation, which is a common idea."
In Mr. Khachatryan's words, Levon Ter-Petrossian will decide the issue
of nomination, and if he is nominated, big changes will take place on
the political stage, "After his nomination, you cannot assess the
change, perhaps, it will be a storm. That is why the Republican Party
is more active to prevent actions, to prevent Ter-Petrossian's
nomination."
As for why the ANC leader hasn't announced his candidacy yet, Mr.
Khachatryan explained that it was Ter-Petrossian's style: "He
has a better perception of both his nomination and that office,
responsibility and the future - his abilities to advance the country."
Talking about the mocking remark of Galust Sahakyan, the deputy leader
of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), made lately that the whole
society and Diaspora are anxious to know when, at what time Levon
Ter-Petrossian would announce his candidacy and one shouldn't make
the society so anxious, he said, "Yeah, they expect this government
to resign, they cannot stand this government, I mean not only the
distant Diaspora, but also Russia. I have contacts, I talk to those
people and they are surprised how we survive, they say, 'Till when
can we send that money?'"
As for G. Sahakyan's comparing the ANC with the most boastful
forest animal, the hare, Mr. Khachatryan responded, "For me, Galust
Sahakyan has remained the Galust Sahakyan of the 1990s, when he was
my inferior."
