TWO STAGES

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 2, NOYAN TAPAN. In the conviction of Tigran
Karapetian, the Chairman of the People’s Party, the 2008 presidential
elections will be held in two stages and he will be one of the
candidates having passed to the second stage. The Chairman of the
People’s Party foresaw at the November 2 press conference that the
presidential elections will be held with less violations, than the
parliamentary ones held on May 12.

According to Tigran Karapetian, 8 to 10 candidates will take part in
the elections, most of whom from the opposition field since the
opposition figures will not manage to find a common candidate. In the
words of Tigran Karapetian, Levon Ter-Petrosian, the first President of
the Republic of Armenia, as well cannot be that common candidate.

The Chairman of the People’s Party qualified the speech of Levon
Ter-Petrosian made in the October 26 rally as a mark for the policy of
the current authorities, which was very soon opposed by the latters.
"In fact, a struggle of charges and compromats will proceed between the
teams of Levon Ter-Petrosian and the current authorities," Tigran
Karapetian concluded.
