Grigor Harutunyan, board secretary of the Armenian People’s Party (HJK)
was asked to comment on that the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaksutiun) has named two candidates at the same time for the post
of the president. The member of HJK brought two possible reasons. One
is that Dashnaksutiun may have failed to come to a common agreement
within itself. "It is more correct, naturally, to name only one
candidate. Why two? They could name 3 or 4. I believe there are 4-5
people with equal capacities within Dashnaksutiun," he said. As for
the second reason, Harutunyan said "they may be willing to show that
they have two candidates for the president," also saying this is
less likely.
