ArmInfo. ‘Judging from the meetings with voters, the mood of the
electorate and real public opinion polls, our leader Artur Bagdasaryan
pretends even not to the second place but to leadership in the first
round of the presidential election’, – deputy chairwoman of Orinats
Yerkir party, leader of Artur Bagdasaryan’s electoral headquarters
Hegine Bisharyan told journalists at Pastarq club today.

She also added that in such conditions if there are the opposition
forces striving to consolidation they should join candidate for
president Artur Bagdasaryan. ‘Over the political talks with Levon
Ter-Petrosyan there was not a problem of obligatory supporting of his
candidacy by Orinats Yerkir party. They also discussed the problem
of consolidation not only before the first but also the second round
of the election. We declared about our participation even before the
parliamentary election. As for unification, it is possible but not
as a result of blackmail used by some people from Ter-Petrosyan’s
surrounding’, – Bisharyan said.

Later she went against her earlier statement that Serzh Sarkisyan
does not have chances to win at the first round, for this reason Artur
Bagdasaryan will occupy at least the second place. ‘If Ter-Petrosyan
supports Artur Bagdasaryan, the latter will gain a victory at the
first round of the election’, – Hegine Bisharyan is sure.
