YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS: A small party called Mother Homeland
said today it will ask its members to vote for prime minister
Serzh Sarkisian in the forthcoming presidential election slated for
February 19.

The party chairwoman, Karine Tumanyan, said to a news conference that
the decision to endorse the prime minister was made after a close
look into election programs of all nine candidates and scrutinizing
their mental and other capacities to materialize their promises.

She said Sarkisian’s election as next president is vital in terms of
maintaining the ongoing robust economic development and the continuity
of talks over the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which
is possible only given the political stability is not disrupted.

Art director of a Russian theater in Yerevan, Alexander Grigorian,
a member of this party’s governing board, said he has known Serzh
Sarkisian for years who has been assisting his theater from the early
1990-s up to now.
