ROBERT KOCHARYAN CONSIDERS THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER BETWEEN TWO OLD COLLEAGUES UNACCEPTABLE
12:07, 15 January, 2013
YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, ARMENPRESS: The second President of the Republic
of Armenia Robert Kocharyan in an interview pledged by him presented
the reasons made him not to run for the Presidential elections. Robert
Kocharyan noted three grave factors forced him to abstain from
returning to active politics, Armenpress reports citing Mediamax.
First the struggle for power between two longtime partners, both
from Karabakh is unacceptable for me: it will create an uncomfortable
situation for the people itself and will later become the subject of
various speculations. Besides it was me who recommended the acting
President as the next president, reportedly his desire to be re-elected
is understandable.
Kocharyan did not wish to participate in the struggle for power thus
not prompting to the formation of extremely unpleasant and hazardous
format for the country.
The former President did not want to spend his time and knowledge in
the search for political compromise, a situation not acceptable by
him. Calling the above mentioned factors not fundamental the Second
President is sure they are rather grave in the emotional and ethical
viewpoints. Thus the former President confines himself to a short
interview. " Not dwelling on the prevailing political situation would
be simply incomprehensible" Kocharyan summed up.
Presidential Elections are due in Armenia on February 18. Eight
candidates have been already registered. Former two Presidents are
not participating in the election struggle.
