Shavarsh Kocharyan, MP, says that Vardan Oskanyan, Foreign Minister
of RA, may participate in the Presidential Election in Armenia in
2008. Sh. Kocharyan told ArmInfo correspondent that Government will
try to play out two scenarios of the Presidential Election.
According to the first, ‘a certain power’ gains parliamentary majority
and promotes their candidate to the Presidential position.
This candidate "known to everyone" will guarantee the Armenian
President Robert Kocharyan personal security after the Election and
will also guarantee a secure conditions for him to leave the country.
There is no space for Vardan Oskanyan in this scenario.
In the second scenario, Robert Kocharyan takes the position of the
Prime Minister. Then he would certainly need an obedient and manageable
President. Vardan Oskanyan is a perfect match to take up this role.
