Yerevan /Mediamax/. "Heritage" party did not make a definite decision
on supporting any of the candidates during the presidential elections
of February 19. Mediamax reports that the statement of the party,
spread on Yerevan on January 19, reads this. It notes that "according
to a sober political analysis, neither of the candidates, considering
themselves oppositional, is able to gain victory during the elections
by means of holding a separate campaign". Board of "Heritage" turned to
the candidates for the position of the President Vazgen Manukian, Vahan
Hovhannissian, Artur Baghdasarian and Levon Ter-Petrosian with an urge
to unite their efforts and reconsider the pre-election tactics. The
statement notes that "if at least two of the mentioned four candidates
do not get united, the party will make the final decision later".
