Politics

“The opposition should name a joint presidential nominee otherwise they will lose the election,” People’s Party (HZhK) leader Stepan Demirchian told A1+ November 9.

The HZhK leader will not run for presidency.

The party hasn’t decided yet which candidate to second. “Levon Ter-Petrossian has a great potential of reconciliation. Many political forces and intelligentsia representatives back the former president which testifies to Demirchian’s speculations.

“Ter-Petrossian is a strong candidate. I think the presidential race will be between a pro-government candidate and Ter-Petrossian. He has brought freshness to the political sphere after ten years’ silence.

Ter-Petrossian ruled the country at hard times and mistakes were inevitable. He will speak of the mistakes and his further steps at the forthcoming rally, HZhK leader said with regard to hardships during Levon Ter-Petrossian’s presidency.

Eventually, we must not forget that during Ter-Petrossian’s office Armenia won the Karabakh war, Demirchian noted.
