The head of the election office of the Armenian presidential candidate
Arthur Baghdasaryan stated January 30 the Armenian presidential
candidate should be educated, practical and skillful, such as the
president of Russia or his heir. Heghine Bisharyan says Arthur
Baghdasaryan is a lawyer, doctor of law, professor.

"And he has an opportunity to get the country out of this hole. I
believe that our program is the most strategic of all, it differs
from the programs of all the other candidates, and evidence to this is
that yesterday the candidate of the government said Let’s move toward
new Armenia. It means everyone agrees to the idea of new Armenia,"
Heghine Bisharyan says.

In answer to the question whom their candidate will endorse in the
second round and whether it is true that Arthur Baghdasaryan will
endorse Levon Ter-Petrosyan if he loses the first round, Heghine
Bisharyan said she does not rule out anything. "I do not rule out
anything and I believe that there will be such a moment. I cannot
specify the time but there will be a time when the candidates of the
opposition will ally. I believe they will," Heghine Bisharyan says.

She did not rule out allying in the first round. "I think everything
is possible," stated the head of Arthur Baghdasaryan’s election office.
