The rumors that ex Deputy DM of Armenia, ARFD member Artur Agabekyan
will be nominated for Nagorno-Karabakh presidency are not true,
says the vice speaker of the Armenian parliament, ARFD member Vahan
Hovhannissyan.

ARFD has never had such goals. Agabekyan will certainly be on the
party’s electoral ticket after Hovhannissyan and the chairman of the
parliamentary commission on foreign affairs Armen Rustamyan.

To note, a few days ago ARFD members met with Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan and Nagorno-Karabakh President Arkady Ghoukassyan. The
official sources say that the sides discussed the Karabakh problems
but rumors say that the key topic was Agabekyan’s nomination for the
post of Armenian Defence Minister.
