Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian
is holding "active talks" with presidential candidate, Leader of
"Orinats Yerkir" Party Artur Baghdasarian and the Leader of "Heritage"
Party Raffi Hovhannissian.
Mediamax reports that the Spokesman of Ter-Petrosian’s pre-election
staff Arman Musinian said this in Yerevan today. "We have serious
grounds to talk about the unification of the leaders of "Orinats
Yerkir" and "Heritage" with us, as well as the leader of "New Times"
party Aram Karapetian", Musinian stated.
He expressed confidence in the victory of Levon Ter-Petrosian in the
very first rounds of the presidential elections. According to him,
the given victory "will be directed to the liberation from the present
regime and the banning of its regeneration".
Arman Musinian stated that "in case he gains the victory, Levon
Ter-Petrosian is ready to work with the present parliament, but not
the Prime Minister". He also informed that Ter-Petrosian’s staff sent
a complaint to the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) and demands
to declare invalid the registration of the presidential candidate,
Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian "in the view of illegal use of the
means out of their fund in the process of the pre-election campaign".
According to Musinian, if the complaint is not satisfied,
Ter-Petrosian’s staff will appeal against the "inertia of the CEC".
Arman Musinian described as "nonsense" the statements of the
presidential candidate, Leader of "National Unification" party Artashes
Geghamian, according to which the ex-President receives "huge sums"
from abroad and about their striving "to destabilize the situation
in the country".
