RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan did not exclude the possibility
of his participation in the 2008 Presidential elections.
Answering the questions about his possible participation in the 2008
Presidential elections by magazine "Nouvelles d’Armenie" which is
published in France, the Foreign Minister said, "It is still too
early to speak about it".
"I know that I still have much to do in this country, and I would
like to continue my work. As for how, time will show", Oskanyan said.
The Armenian press has supposed many times that Oskanyan can be
the possible successor of Kocharyan and be supported by "Prosperous
Armenia" created by Gagik Tsaroukyan.
According to the legislation, Vardan Oskanyan who left California
for Armenia in 1992 and got citizenship in 1998 will have the right
to participate in the 2008 Presidential elections, Radio station
"Azatutyun" reports.
