Regnum, Russia
July 7 2007
Armenia's first president Levon ter-Petrosyan suits best of all as
the political figure that would unite all forces around him, even
those opposing each other, deputy chair of the Armenian ex-ruling
party Armenian National Movement Aram Manukyan announced at a news
conference today.
A REGNUM correspondent quotes him as saying that the opposition
must unite and nominate a single presidential candidate at the
2008 election. "The situation in Armenia now claims that a united
opposition must come to carry out a revolution and come to power,"
he believes. However, according to the politician, in this case one
should more cautious about international institutions as stability
in the country if often more important for them than anything else.
As Manukyan noted, in September 2007, talks and discussions will
become clearer, and in December the candidates will be known.
Commenting on the fact that Levon ter-Petrosyan neither denied
nor confirmed the intention of the Armenian National Movement to
nominate him as a presidential contender, Manukyan said that if he
had opposed, the office of the First President would have responded
to such statements.
