Armen Rustamyan, representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme
Body, stated September 19 at the Friday Club Dashnaktsutyun has a
normal attitude toward the nomination of Levon Ter-Petrosyan to the
presidential election of 2008. "In addition, it will be better if he
is nominated," Armen Rustamyan says. According to him, the nomination
of the first president will be helpful to the presidential election
in terms of politics and ideology. "I think, knowing him, that for
ten years we haven’t heard Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s thoughts fully,
the changes that happened, nevertheless, I know that when we were
opposition, there were two ideologies in the Armenian reality: one
was nationalistic, the other was cosmopolitan, internationalist,"
Armen Rustamyan says, stressing that if Levon Ter-Petrosyan runs in
the race, the race will have much more ideology.
"At least we, in order to recheck our ideas, to reassert, to argue, as
I have said, a real subject of debate will occur. And I am sure that
it will help others make up their mind. After all, they need to ask
themselves on which side of the watershed they are. Formal attitudes
will disappear, they will stop stressing the form," Armen Rustamyan
says. It is important what a person says and not how a person says.
