ALL-ARMENIAN MOVEMENT PREFERS DASHNAKTSUTYUN
Lragir, Armenia
Sept 26 2007
If Levon Ter-Petrosyan runs in the presidential election of 2008,
the All-Armenian Movement will prefer the ARF Dashnaktsutyun as an
opponent, stated the head of the board of the party Ararat Zurabyan
on September 26 at the Hayatsk press club.
"When the election campaign starts, politically, a much more serious
political process will occur in this context, in the context of a
clash of ideologies, than if the competition is with Serge Sargsyan
because there is no goal to compete with Serge Sargsyan. Even if
Levon Ter-Petrosyan remains silent for the rest of the time and
runs in the election, I am sure the society will vote for him,
preferring him to Serge Sargsyan. In addition, I am sure that in
a fair election every citizen of the Republic of Armenia who is a
university graduate, will defeat Serge Sargsyan, and would defeat
Robert Kocharyan as well. However, the system that exists has never
enabled holding a normal election. But we should push it to happen,"
Ararat Zurabyan says.
In answer to the question if in case of nomination Levon Ter-Petrosyan
will agree to a debate with Serge Sargsyan, Ararat Zurabyan said
it is necessary to ask Serge Sargsyan if he would agree to a debate
with Ter-Petrosyan.
