LEADER OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ARMENIA ASSESSES CHANCES OF FIRST
PRESIDENT AS LITTLE
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The Democratic Party of Armenia
(DPA) is preparing to run in the upcoming presidential elections but
the final format of its participation will be decided by the party's
leading body, the chairman of DPA Aram G. Sargsian stated at the
October 5 press conference.
He said that DPA will join some political bloc only based on the
principle of ideological community with other parties. Otherwise, DPA
will not join any political union. Aram Sargsian gave the example of
the "Justice" bloc which has united political forces of various
ideological directions. "Experience shows that activities of such
unions are not effective," he noted.
In his opinion, the upcoming presidential elections will resemble not
a real political struggle but rather its imitation.
As for the chances of the first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosian, Aram Sargsian said that they are quite little: "I
realize very well what kind of attitude the people will show to L.
Ter-Petrosian's running in the elections. The principle of choosing
between the bad and the worst is ruining for our peole," DPA leader
said.
