Armenia should get rid of the "triumvirate" of the three presidents:
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan. It is
necessary to put an end to their epoch and find new leaders, says
Aram Sargsyan, Leader of Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA).
He told media Wednesday that Armenia needs a new stage of political
development, which requires new quality political figures. Sargsyan
believes that there is relevant potential in the country.
The politician considers the upcoming presidential election quite
strange, as the relatively strong political figures having their
political teams do not participate in the presidential race. Instead,
he said, some unknown persons having no experience in politics claim
such a serious position as the position of the president.
To recall, out of 15 presidential candidates, two are nominated by
the political parties: incumbent president Serzh Sargsyan from the
Republican Party and former prime minister Hrant Bagratyan from the
Liberty Party. All the remaining are self-nominated candidates: Leader
of the Union for National Self- Determination Party Paruyr Hayrikyan,
Leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian, Advisor for Political
Issues of the Refugees and the International Law Civil Society Network,
ex-foreign minister of NKR Arman Melikyan, a member of Prosperous
Armenia Party Ruben Ayvazyan, non-party man Taron Abrahamyan, Leader
of the Progressive Socialist Party Robert Aharonyan, Director of Hay
Radio Andreas Ghukasyan, unemployed ethnographer Vardan Sedrakyan,
Head of Kashatagh NGO Robert Simonyan, pensioner Pavlik Sargsyan,
unemployed Mher Hayrapetyan, and head of the NAtional Press Club
Narine Lazarian. The elections will be held on Feb 18 2013.
