The leader of National Accord Party Aram Harutyunyan will withdraw
from the presidential election on Feb 8 05:00 PM.
During a press-conference on Saturday he said that until then he will
try to make his voice heard to the people and the other candidates.
"I hope that the other candidates will follow my example and will
leave Serzh Sargsyan all alone. This will be cold water for Prosperous
Armenia, the ARFD and the Armenian National Congress, who have refused
to run for presidency," Harutyunyan said.
He added that if all parliamentary parties boycott the parliament's
work for three months, according to the Constitution, it will have to
be dissolved. "So, I urge Prosperous Armenia, the ARFD, the ANC and
Heritage to do it. As a result, the parliamentary majority will be
forced to resign and we will be able to conduct mid-term parliamentary
elections," Harutyunyan said.
He said that unlike presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan, he is not
going to join the hunger strike by another presidential candidate
Andreas Ghukasyan. "This will hardly surprise anybody in a country
where almost half of people are starving. Ghukasyan is a good guy but
his claims are not clear," Harutyunyan said.
