The leader of the People’s Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan is
one of the political figures who have recently met with the first
president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Ter-Petrosyan had also met
with the leader of the National Solidarity Party Artashes Geghamyan.
Geghamyan’s team said after this meeting that since Levon Ter-Petrosyan
is an experienced politician, he may support Artashes Geghamyan in
the presidential election.
In this connection, it is interesting to know what Stepan Demirchyan’s
team said after the meeting with Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Do they think
that Ter-Petrosyan may support the leader of the People’s Party
of Armenia? "During the meeting they did not discuss support, both
expressed their approaches toward the situation in Armenia," said
the secretary of the People’s Party of Armenia Grigor Harutiunyan
who was hosted at the Pastark Club on September 19.
But first Harutiunyan repeated the stance of the party on Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s participation in the presidential election of
2008, saying that it may have a positive effect. "However, Levon
Ter-Petrosyan has not stated anything definite. He is expected to
run in the election, and when he is nominated, we will express our
stance," Grigor Harutiunyan says, adding that the government’s stance
on Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination shows there is reason to expect that
he will be nominated.
