Leader of "National Unity" party Artashes Geghamian has announced his
intention to run as a candidate for the president’s chair. A relevant
decision was made at the party presidium with participation of the
heads of the party’s regional departments.
After the session, Artashes Geghamian organized a 100-minute long press
conference in which the party leadership grounded the necessity of
Geghamanian’s nomination for president using sharp and even insulting
epithets describing ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosian.
Thus, "National Unity" Vice Chairman Alexan Karapetian said the
aspiration of Levon Ter-Petroisan and his supporters are quite
different of public interests.
"They cynically speak of morality being a classical example of
corruption," he said. On the whole, he is sure that together with
Artashes Geghamian the country will find ‘the way to the bright
future."
In his turn, representative of NU Shirak regional office Liova Galstian
commented on an earlier made statement that "Geghamian is a mine in the
opposition field" and stressed that Geghamian is not a mine but "an
intercontinental missile." Other supporters of Geghamian praised the
ability of their leader to master economic and financial policy best of
all, to carry out the best analysis of world and regional processes,
to define the security ways for Armenia etc: Nevertheless, the most
important argument they brought in favor of their party leader Artashes
Geghamian was ‘his great love for the fatherland and the people’.
