YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, NOYAN TAPAN. We should not allow Serge Sargsian,
the RA Prime Minister, to have no alternative as a candidate
in the 2008 presidential elections. This statement was made by
Tigran Karapetian, the Chairman of the People’s Party, at the press
conference, which was held on August 24. At the same time he did
not regard as serious the conversations around the nomination of the
candidature of Levon Ter-Petrosian, the first RA President.
According to Tigran Karapetian, in the presidential elections he will
receive votes several times more, than those "he was presented on the
tray" during the parliamentarian elections held in May. "I pretend
on the role of being the candidate of the people, who, in difference
to certain opposing forces, will not scold, but will fight against
falsifications," the Chairman of the People’s Party mentioned.
Touching upon the rumours about the sale of the "ALM" TV company,
Tigran Karapetian classed them as "an instigation, all in all" by
certain media.
