YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The national wave raised with
the joint efforts of the Nor Zhamanakner (New Times) party, the
Impeachment bloc, and the Hanrapetutiun (Republic) party during the
2007 parliamentary elections had its logical continuation on the
threshold of the 2008 presidential elections. Hrachya Sargsian,
the the Vice-Chairman of the Nor Zhamanakner party, stated on
February 14 presenting the party Board’s decision on the presidential
elections. "Nor Zhamanakner supports the national movement, which is
led by RA presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian," H. Sargsian
said.

According to the NZ Board’s statement, the party considers that
forcing Aram Karapetian, the leader of the Nor Zhamanakner party,
from the presidential race as a result of the inglorious strivings for
reproduction of the RA authorities, who consider their group interests
as most important, delivered a very serious blow to the legitimacy of
the forthcoming elections. The NZ party Board stated that proceeding
from the logic of the current regime’s actions, system changes can
be achieved in Armenia only through a national movement.
