ArmInfo. Today, leader of the United Communist party of Armenia Yuri
Manukyan gave a maximum precise, in his opinion, forecast for the
forthcoming presidential election in Armenia.

Coming out in "Pastarq" club, he emphasized that the party he heads
made a decision last autumn on support of the candidacy of the
Republican party leader, RA PM Serzh Sargsyan. "According to our
researches, about 1 600 000 voters will take part in the presidential
election, 70% of whom will vote for Serzh Sargsyan, so no second round
should be expected. The second place, by our data, will be taken by
member of the Bureau of ARF Dashnaktsutyun party Vahan Hovhannisian",
Y. Manukyan said.

As for the first President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Y. Manukyan
advised the first president to apologize to Vazgen Manukyan for the
victory he taken off from him in 1996 and then withdraw his candidacy.
This will attach a worthy image of the country’s first president to L.
Ter-Petrosyan, Manukyan said.

"I advise the rest of the presidential contenders to withdraw their
candidacies in favour of RA PM as only S. Sargsyan is able to solve the
problems the country faces, including Nagorno Karabakh problem", Y.
Manukyan said.
