The former PM Hrant Bagratyan doesn’t agree with the viewpoint of the member of “Heritage” party Armen Martirosyan that Raffi Hovhannisyan is a more charismatic oppositional political leader and it would be better for the opposition to support Raffi Hovhannisyan.
“I must see whether each candidate is better than me, or my comrades.” – said Hrant Bagratyan to Aravot.am.
In answer to Ms. Martirossyan’s commentary that “R. Hovhannisyan is the candidate who can bring real changes in case of being elected”, Ms. Bagratyan said: “I am not going to comment on his words”.
The idea of joint candidate is not a result of agreement; it is the decision of people. I say the same inside ANC. We must organize fair elections ourselves. We must see who is more likely to get votes and then run his candidacy.”
