ArmInfo. "If an early and unbalanced decision on presidential
election in Armenia is taken, the electorate may face away from us",
Press-secretary of the oppositional Heritage Party Hovsep Khurshudyan
said to ArmInfo correspondent.
According to him, one of the key reasons why Heritage decided not
to support any of the presidential candidates yet is that none of
them thought it necessary to give complete written answers to the
questions addressed to all the candidates for president. In addition,
the opposition drew no morals from the recent parliamentary election
campaign when the oppositionists failed to go to the election in a
consolidated way and therefore got beaten.
"The support of a candidate during the election is not an aim in
itself for us. A decision will be taken in favor of the candidate
who proves practically that the most important thing for him is to
win and hold systematic reforms in the country", Khurshudyan said.
Asked whether the possibility of support of ARF Dashnaksutyun
representative Vahan Hovhannisyan increases in the context of
Leader of the National-Democratic Union Vazgen Manukyan's probable
withdrawal from the fight in Vahan Hovhannisyan's favor and Heritage
Party's appeal to four candidates to join forces, Khurshudyan replied:
"Among our questions addressed to presidential candidates, there was
a question on the intention to go up to the end during the electoral
campaign. Now I can only say that possible consolidation of at
least two alternative candidates to the power is unlikely to play a
crucial role when we take a decision". Khurshudyan didn't rule out
the possibility that Heritage may take the final decision before the
possible second round of the presidential election.
