"Levon Ter-Petrosyan will be nominated for the coming Presidential
elections", announced president of the Armenian Pan-National Movement
administration Ararat Zourabyan in "Pastark" club today. His statement
cannot be considered official and final as the final decision must
be made by Levon Ter-Petrosyan himself.

But why does Mr. Zourabyan think that the first President of the
Republic of Armenia will return to politics?

"I am sure that a few words by Levon Ter-Petrosyan are more important
that the activities of whole political powers", Mr. Zourabyan said. He
is sure that the present authorities have exhausted themselves; he
mentioned that at present the most urgent problem of the party is to
not allow the reproduction of the authorities, be it in the person
of Serge Sargsyan or Vardan Oskanyan.

Taking into account the experience of the previous elections,
Mr. Zourabyan claimed that the RA authorities never gather more than
10-15% of votes.

"The rest is the result of fabrications. We shall try to prevent
it". The previous elections showed not only the presence of
fabrications, but also the impossibility of their prevention. The APNM
has the solution to this problem too, "It was possible to prevent
the fabrications in 2003 too if the opposition were a little more
decisive".

According to Ararat Zourabyan, no political power in Armenia can have
significant success without cooperating with other powers. According
to him, they are ready to cooperate with the Republican party and
the RA Liberal-Progressive party.
