"To vote for Serge Sargsyan during the presidential elections means
to vote for a war," Vazgen Manukyan, the leader of the National
Democratic Union (NDU), said at the Pastark Club on May 30.
"Provided Serge Sargsyan becomes the RoA President in 2008,
corruption and fabrication will keep on reigning in the country,"
Vazgen Manukyan says.
Serge Sargsyan will win in case he makes use of his
"craftiness". Sargsyan offers portfolios to other parties. What
is the purpose? Obviously, the government will try its best to
prevent a run-off election. Serge Sargsyan does his utmost to win the
presidential election after the first round. But the Republicans need
the votes of the Prosperous Armenia, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun and the
United Labour parties.
"I understand Serge Sargsyan’s craftiness but the "naivety" of other
parties is not clear to me," says Vazgen Manukyan.
According to the NDU leader the other parties should form
opposition. They automatically become opposition if they do not get
any ministerial posts, create a coalition, and in this case there
would be a rather strong and powerful opposition coalition in the
National Assembly versus the Republican Party," says the leader of
the National Democratic Union.
The opposition will not win unless they nominate a joint candidate.
