On Saturday Tigran Urikhanyan, leader of the Armenian Renewed Communist
Party, announced that the three communist parties and the Marxist party
will unite and will defend Serge Sargsyan in the coming Presidential
elections.

Today David Hakobyan, leader of the Marxist party, denounced the news
saying that no one has offered them to unite, and he does not find
it suitable to unite with “political elements subject to constant
political transformations”.

The chief Marxist of the country notes that they will not cooperate
with any coalition party, and they will take part in the Parliamentary
elections by themselves. What is most interesting is that David
Hakobyan announced that the candidate of the Marxist party in the
Presidential elections will be himself. That’s to say, the group of
the oppositional “leaders” has a new member.
