YEREVAN, August 30. /ARKA/. Armenia can become the most democratic
country in the world, the leader of the National Self-Determination
Union (NSDU) party Paruyr Hayrikian told a press conference. "All the
preconditions for it are established in the country today," he added.
According to the leader of NSDU, the political image of Armenia may
be improved only if all democratic political forces combine their
efforts in implementation of the democratization program.
In this respect Hayrikian holds consultations with the political forces
of Armenia to exchange opinions on the possible ways of cooperation
and elaboration of a joint action plan in the process of presidential
election campaign.
"Only in case of such unification I will agree to nominate myself for
the presidential elections in Armenia to be held in the beginning of
2008," Hayrikian said.
He pointed out that although the second stage of the consultations is
currently underway, the circle of political forces able to establish
such an association are not outlined yet.
Hayrikian pointed out unacceptability of purely formal nomination. "I
will nominate myself only if I am confident in victory," the leader
of NSDU said.
Hayrikian is willing to support other candidate of democratic
forces only if he is the candidate of consolidated forces and if
he is in demand. He considered it possible to establish a united
election campaign platform of the Armenian democratic forces for the
presidential elections.
"In the course of our consultations we consider such opportunities, as
well as means of coordination of organizational and financial issues,
the ideologies and the programs of the parties that are to join the
possible union," Hayrikian said.
Hayrikian pointed out that the union will in no way be a united
opposition front, but will become a team of democratic forces where
pro-governmental parties can be involved as well.
"If the acting Prime-Minister of the country Serge Sargsian, who will
also contend for the presidency, supports my program, then I am ready
to support his candidacy," Hayrikian said.
