    HERITAGE PARTY LEADER DOES NOT RULE OUT SUPPORT FOR "SINGLE CANDIDATE" IN 2013 ELECTION

    Raffi Hovannisian, the founder and leader of the opposition Heritage
    party, does not rule out support for a single opposition candidate who,
    he says, would bring "victory" in next year's presidential election.

    At a press conference on Wednesday, Hovannisian, who earlier this
    month announced his intention to run for president in February,
    warned, however, that he would reject any pretence and eyewash that
    would eventually end up in a "deal".

    Hovannisian's remarks came amid continuing consultations among mostly
    opposition political forces launched last week around a possible
    common platform with which to challenge President Serzh Sargsyan in
    the upcoming election.

    Hovannisian's Heritage party members last week also met with
    representatives of the Prosperous Armenia Party that initiated the
    consultations on the basis of two main issues - transforming Armenia
    into a parliamentary republic by 2018 and scrapping elections to
    the National Assembly from single-seat mandates and passing to an
    all-party list ballot.

    At the press conference on Wednesday Hovannisian also announced that he
    was leaving for Baku later that day to take part in an international
    conference of Asian political parties. He said that organizers of the
    event in Azerbaijan had promised equal conditions for expression and
    security to him.
