YEREVAN, JULY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. "Armenia needs radical changes,
and the challenges existing today in the region require a serious
approach." Hrant Khachatrian, the Chairman of the Constitutional Law
Union, stated at the July 27 press conference. In his words, CLU is
going to play a serious role in the processes aimed at these changes.
Evaluating opposition’s chances in the 2008 presidential elections,
H. Khachatrian gave assurance that the problem of opposition’s common
candidate should be solved by the people, because, as experience
showed, politicians "have serious faults" in this issue. At the same
time the CLU Chairman said that the idea of opposition’s unification
fails not due to party leaders’ ambitions, but due to non-exact
presentation of demands by society.
H. Khachatrian also said that every election costs a pretty penny
both for the people and the opposition parties. "Spending almost all
their financial resources, the latters at the same time sustain cadre
losses for well-known reasons," he said.
The CLU Chairman considered improbable the nomination of the
candidature of the first RA President, Levon Ter-Petrosian for the
forthcoming presidential elections, as the latter, according to him,
has no guarantees of winning.
