The leader of the Constitutional Right Union (the SIM Party) Hrant
Khachatryan stated October 22 at the Friday Club he believes Levon
Ter-Petrosyan will not be nominated for the presidential election.
Hrant Khachatryan did not rule out Ter-Petrosyan’s nomination but
he said he believes he will not be nominated. Hrant Khachatryan says
he knows the first president and he knows he is a sensible activist,
which makes him think so.
Nevertheless, Hrant Khachatryan welcomes Ter-Petrosyan’s activity,
saying that it may be useful, and he even thought Ter-Petrosyan should
have spelt out his stance on one issue or another over these years.
Hrant Khachatryan also said he always participates in big or small
rallies and will participate in the rally on October 26 at the Square
of Freedom which the first president will address. Hrant Khachatryan
thinks by creating hurdles for information about the rally, as well
as by controlling the media the government kindles interest in the
rally. In other words, people will have to go to the rally to listen
to the first president. Hrant Khachatryan says it will attract more
people to the square, which is good, the leader of the SIM party says.
