The Orinats Yerkir Party (OYP) has been suggested meeting with Levon
Ter-Petrosyan.

"In case the Republican Party (HHK) gets such a proposal, the party
board will first consider it and then make a corresponding decision"
HHK Chairman Karen Karapetyan said.

"In case we are invited to a meeting with the RA former President,
the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) will consider the proposal with
its Coalition partners," BHK member Naira Zohrabyan said.

"The meeting does not imply that the BHK, HHK or ARF Dashnaktsutyun
will ally with the All-Armenian Party (HHSh)," she added.

It is due to mention that the BHK leader Gagik Tsarukyan takes
Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination at the presidential election quite
naturally.

In answer to our question whether the BHK is bound by the memorandum
commitments, Naira Zohrabyan said, "Gagik Tsarukyan has stated many
times that the BHK will stick to the memorandum commitments. The BHK
and HHK will second a joint candidate at the presidential election –
be it Serge Sargsyan or someone else."

The meeting of the ARFD and Levon Ter-Petrosyan at the "Simon
Vratsyan" Centre was organised by the HHSh, NA Deputy Chairman and
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau member Vahan Hovhannisyan said.

"The meeting was noteworthy as we hadn’t met for 13-14 years,"
Hovhannisyan noted.
