If the political sphere of Armenia runs in the presidential election
of Armenia in its present shape, the election of Serge Sargsyan
will be predetermined, said the leader of the National Democratic
Party Shavarsh Kocharyan on August 22 whose party was not elected
to parliament.
According to him, the fact that the election of Serge Sargsyan might
be hindered by uncertainty over the future of President Kocharyan
and thereof the controversy between the president and the prime
minister. Robert Kocharyan is said to want to be prime minister who
will have real powers thanks to the amended Constitution. Robert
Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan have not come to agreement yet, stated
the leader of the Democratic Way Party Manuk Gasparyan a few days
ago who also had lost the parliamentary election.
The leader of the National Democratic Party disagrees.
"These two persons are bound to each other with the same chain and
cannot abandon each other. It is impossible. Simply there is a problem
related to the third term, the amendments to the Constitution. The
problem is who the first is and who the second is who are tied with
the same chain.
This is the problem. In any case, these two persons cannot have
adversarial relations. However, it predetermined to some extent the
political developments in the previous period, before the elections
and to some extent after the election because besides the common
interest there is a problem to decide who the first is."
As to the ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s statement to name president, which
some people think is Robert Kocharyan’s weapon against Serge Sargsyan,
Shavarsh Kocharyan advises not to waste time on looking for deep-lying
plans. According to him, Dashnaktsutyun realizes that this government
is provisional, and wants to boost its importance not to lose after
the presidential election of 2008 what it got after May 12, 2007.
