Victor Dalakian, non-partisan parliament member, questioned today
the willingness of the major opposition forces to close ranks and
contest the 2008 presidential election with a common candidate.In
the course of the press conference he said only being united the
opposition can compete with the pro-government candidate, but added
that this looks almost impossible at present. According to Dalakian,
ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosian will also join the race.

"Levon Ter-Petrosian’s injection and the decision of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation (ARF) to nominate its own candidate will
prompt a very interesting struggle between leftwing and rightwing
political forces," Dalakian said. However, he added that it is not
important who will be elected, what is important is how the next
president of the country is elected."
