WILL BAZEYAN SECOND AN ARFD CANDIDATE?

Politics

The National Rebirth Party hasn't decided yet which candidate to second at the upcoming presidential race. The party will make a final decision after an alliance with the Ramkavar-Azatakan and Dashink parties, said the party leader Albert Bazeyan.

“It is a serious political issue to decide which candidate to back, and this decision should not be influenced by personal likes or dislikes,” the leader of the National Rebirth said.

Bazeyan states they may support any candidate, even the nominee proposed by the ARF Dashnaktsutiun provided the party acts together with a front of opposition parties.

“We shall back their candidate in case they offer a programme and approaches on the future of Armenia similar to ours. We expect the ARF Dashnaktsutiun to act on behalf of the pure opposition and to invite its officials out of government,” Albert Bazeyan says.

“I have already said that I support Vazgen Manukyan’s view on the settlement of the Artsakh issue. I share his opinion.

Bazeyan says neither he and nor Samvel Babayan accept Ter-Petrossian's approach towards the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

According to the leader of the National Rebirth, the alliance of the three parties is not determined by the presidential election. It has far-reaching goals: they want to bring clarity to the political sphere and to consolidate political parties. The conference of the renovated Ramkavar Party of Armenia is due in January. Either Samvel Babayan, Harutiun Arakelian or Albert Bazeyan will become the leader of the party. Bazeyan also said the Ramkavar Party of Armenia will not undergo structural changes because the parties under question are not against the existing structure.
