Galust Sahakyan, member of the Republican Party's council, stated
May 5 at the Pastark Club tonight the Bargavach Hayastan Party, the
Republican Party and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will perhaps sum up the
negotiations over the government and will release their stance. "The
main principle is widely known: we are trying to create a friendly
atmosphere," Galust Sahakyan says, mentioning that the Republican
Party has been ready to collaborate with parties with identical
programs since 1999.
Galust Sahakyan declined to answer the question directly if the
negotiations over the coalition involve the stipulation to support
Serge Sargsyan in the presidential election of 2008. However, he
said underlining it is his personal opinion it is illogical to form
a government together and then support different candidates in the
presidential election. The member of the council of the Republican
Party said if the ARF Dashnaktsutyun refuses to support Serge Sargsyan
and puts up another candidate, collaboration with this party will be
fractional, not profound.
As to signing a memorandum on coalition, Galust Sahakyan said the
format of the collaboration is a technical matter. According to Galust
Sahakyan, the formation of this government does not differ from the
previous and there is no confidentiality. The difference is, according
to Galust Sahakyan, that the talks and political consultations help
define the tactics for the upcoming five years, which include the
presidential election as well.
However, the Republican says the coalition proposals of the Republican
Party are not confined to the desire to guarantee support for the
candidate in the presidential election of 2008. Galust Sahakyan
says the Republican Party has always endorsed use of the potential
of political parties, both in 1999 and in 2003 when there was no
necessity for political support for the presidential candidate.
