Hovik Aghazaryan has announced that he intends to run for president in
Armenia's elections to be held on February 18. During a press
conference on Friday, he said he is confident that if the elections
were held this Saturday, 5,000 people would vote for him.
To note, Hovik Aghazaryan is a Candidate of Technical Sciences, he has
worked at the National Academy of Sciences as a researcher, but he is
currently unemployed. He was a member of opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Party, but he was ousted from the party `for disciplinary violations.'
Even though Aghazaryan was expelled from ARF, he considers himself a
bearer of ARF ideologies, and he is even prepared to withdraw his
presidential candidacy so as not to get in the way of ARF's
presidential nominee.
The unemployed presidential hopeful is not concerned by the AMD 8
million (approx. $19,725) election deposit, and he informed that his
son has a construction business in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
He noted that it will not be a great tragedy for him if the Central
Electoral Commission does not register him as a presidential
candidate, and noted that they have a plot of land in Surenavan
village and he is busy with this land.
Hovik Aghazaryan stated that he considers ruling Republican Party
(RPA) candidate - that is, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan - as his
main challenger in the elections. At the same time he ruled out the
possibility of supporting either the RPA nominee or opposition bloc
Armenian National Congress leader - and First President - Levon
Ter-Petrosyan.
