'Levon Ter-Petrosian's nomination as a candidate for presidency
depends on Prime Minister Serge Sargsian", announced the leader of
the National Unity Party Artashes Geghamian in "Hayeli"("Mirror")
club on September 3. "It depends on the forthcoming official visits
of the Prime Minister. After it, the agiotage "to announce or not to
announce" will come to an end", he added.
To the question of the journalists if the nomination of the first
president depends on the foreign guarantees, Artashes Geghamian
answered: "I don't speak of guarantees. It's already 13-14 years that
the negotiation process continues in Armenia, and the most active
sides of the negotiation process are USA, Russia and France. If the
negotiation process hasn't yet changed into a war, it means that the
sides have adopted the status quo of the Karabakh issue. It means
that the same EU that parallel with Armenia admitted Azerbaijan, also
adopted the status quo. Now, in the created situation there could be
serious geopolitical changes. It's hard to speak of the interests
of the above-mentioned countries, as there are serious series of
issues there. Anyhow, everything will be clear after October 25",
underlined Artashes Geghamian.
"The most important thing today is that Levon Ter-Petrosian, Serge
Sargsian, Aram Karapetian, Paruyr Hayrikian, Vazgen Manukian, and
everybody unite for a common issue - to reach a consensus on Karabakh
issue", said the leader of NU party.
He is sure that the discussion of Karabakh issue will be a pivotal
in the electoral campaign of the presidential elections.
"He, who wants to come to power, must think of consensus", underlined
Artashes Geghamian. He is sure that cooperation with the authorities
is a matter of urgency, and the meeting of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation and Levon Ter-Petrosian confirms it.
What about the nomination of National Unity Party candidate for the
presidency, Artashes Geghamian still thinks of its appropriateness. If
NU finds inappropriate the nomination of personal candidate, then
Mr. Geghamian will support the candidate whose programs are close to
his anti-crisis program.
