LEVON TER-PETROSIAN HAS NO CHANCE OF BECOMING SINGLE OPPOSITION
CANDIDATE
During the press conference after the opening ceremony of the highway
in south of Armenia President Robert Kocharian also made several
remarks on the current political situation in the country. In
particular, he said that the Pan-Armenian Movement Party left a poor
heritage and is responsible for running the economy of Armenia. The
people, which remember the tough days of early 90’s, will not be so
foolish to trust the Pan-Armenian Movement again, he said hinting at
Ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosian’s intention to take part in the
presidential elections of 2008.
Mr. Kocharian stated that the economy of Armenia has been restored in
general and supposed that the Armenian National Movement leadership
imagine they’ve got opportunity for another plunder. "This is why they
are eager to get the Ex-President involved in their game, so as to
enhance their resources," said Robert Kocharian.
The President also said that Levon Ter-Petrosian has no chance of
becoming the single candidate of the opposition, as there are at least
2 or three figures in the opposition, who are resolved to run for the
President’s office on the forthcoming elections.
