YEREVAN, DECEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The National Democratic Party
cannot support Levon Ter-Petrosian's candidature, as the party is
against the authoritarian system, the founder of which is the first
RA President. As NDP Chairman Shavarsh Kocharian stated at the
December 4 press conference, in the year's of L. Ter-Petrosian's
tenure the national enthusiasm of 1988 was broken and "nation's
spiritual potential was lost, which was equal to oil potential." Then,
according to S. Kocharian, the electoral institution was exterminated
by the presidential elections of 1996, when the power was retained
with the help of tanks and a "military coup" took place.
The NDP Chairman refuted the statement made by L. Ter-Petrosian lately
that in the years of war Prime Minister Serge Sargsian was expelled
from Karabakh for some time. According to S. Kocharian, S. Sargsian
had left for Moscow for some time because of contradictions in the
Karabakh governmental system, "the author of which was L. Ter-Petrosian
and his defeatest policy in the Artsakh problem."
