HRAPARAK: ARF-D AGAIN IN UNCERTAINTY

The paper claims the situation in the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaktsutyun is again uncertain with the presidential
elections appear to be another headache for them as boycott and
participation with own candidate will possibly make them appear behind
the political margin.
On the other hand the issue of own candidate is the matter of
disputes inside the party. Armen Rustamyan-Vahan Hovhannisyan want
that candidate be Hrant Margaryan, while the latter understands why
'some' want to burden the ARD-D's 'defeat' on him, thus he sees all
the members of the party as candidates but not him.
The paper says Armen-Vahan will also back participation with a united
candidate. "Armen will even agree to back Armenian National Congress
(ANC) candidates but he will not be allowed to negotiate with them.
Hrant would not like it," the paper quoted its source in the ARF-D.
As to Vartan Oskanian-Armen Rustamyan talks, it was not so decisive
though the meeting discussed the possibility of Oskanian being
ARF-D-ANC-Heritage joint candidate if the Prosperous Armenia party
backs Serzh Sargsyan. The paper says it is rather important for the
ARF-D when the second President Robert Kocharyan enters the game and
what Serzh Sargsyan's wing will do. The paper says there are people in
the ARF-D who think they will declare a double game but do other thing.
