/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today Garnik Isagulyan, Adviser to the president
of the Republic of Armenia on national security issues does not see
any alternative for the presidential post, except candidacy of Prime
Minister Serzh Sargsyan, Isagulyan himself stated to a press conference
in Yerevan May 17. Garnik Isagulyan reminded, still 6 months ago he
declared that Serzh Sargsyan will become the next president of Armenia
and today he keeps on that viewpoint. According to his evaluations
leader of "Prosperous Armenia" Gagik Tsarukyan will not run for the
presidential post, since Tsarukyan does not have "such ambitions and
intentions". Touching upon opposition political figures, President's
Adviser noted, in this case everything depends on how they will behave
during campaign period. He noticed in case if they unite and nominate
a single candidate, opposition will have certain chances, adding that
up till now there aren't any preconditions for such unification. In
Isagulyan's opinion, like in the parliamentarian elections, during
presidential elections ambitions of opposition leaders will hinder
them to unite. "They all sleep and see themselves in their dreams as
presidents", he thinks, IA Regnum reports.
Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, leader of "Orinats Yerkir" party
Artur Baghdasaryan, leader of National-Democratic Union, ex-Premier
of Armenia Vazgen Manoukyan, leader of "New Times" party Aram
Karapetyan and leader of People's Party Tigran Karapetyan have
already declared about their intention to nominate in the 2008
presidential race. According to Ararat Zourabyan, Chairman of the
ex-ruling Armenian National Movement party Levon Ter-Petrosyan (first
President of Armenia) is also going to run for the presidential post.
