ArmInfo. "Prosperous Armenia" Party, entering the governing coalition,
hasn’t still got any proposal for meeting from the first Armenian
president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the member of "Prosperous Armenia"
parliamentary faction Naira Zohrabian said in her talk with ArmInfo
correspondent.

According to her, if "Prosperous Armenia" Party gets such a proposal,
they will discuss the issue with the Republican Party of Armenia, and
will state their position, acting within the frames of the coalition
signed with RPA on mutual cooperation. At the same time, according
to her, "if RA ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan decides to run in
the 2008 presidential election, as the authority’s suppositional
single-whole candidate, RA Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan stated, his
strategy will not change by the nomination of this or that political
force". As for the tactical problems, she thinks that the candidate’s
tactics may change at any moment, depending on the situation.

Referring to the active negotiations of opposition forces,
N. Zohrabayan said that the search of opposition’s single-whole
candidate for the president is already left out the agenda. "The issue
of opposition’s single-whole candidate can be considered finally and
irretrievably closed, as, starting from the Leader of "New Times"
Party Aram Karapetyan, and ending up with the Leader of "People’s
Party" Tigran Karapetyan, many oppositionists have already declared
about their nomination for the president’s post", N. Zohrabyan said.
