On February 12 the reporters asked the presidential candidate Vazgen
Manukyan whom he considers his likely opponent in the second round.
The presidential candidate first said in case of a fair election the
government candidate cannot win in one round because he lacks the
resource. Vazgen Manukyan also rules out the victory of any candidate
of the opposition, and thinks such announcements are clear bluffing.
He thinks nobody’s rating is above 20 percent, therefore the main
candidates will most probably get equal votes.
As to the second round, the presidential candidate says one of the
representatives of the opposition will run in the second round, and
the opposition candidate will win the second round if the opposition
comes together around him. As to who the likely candidate from the
opposition is, Vazgen Manukyan declines to tell.
