“I can definitely say that PAP with its way of acting cannot nominate the opposition candidate.” said the MP of the “Heritage” party Zaruhi Postanjyan at the press conference, when asked to comment on PAP MP Vartan Oskanian’s statement that the PAP will participate in the presidential elections with its own candidate.
Answering the question how many chances does Oskanian have in case of being PAP candidate, she answered- “I do not like making predictions, because my problem is not to comment on issues related to the party’s nomination. But I can say that the opposition party cannot represent a united candidate, or even a single candidate. As a political force, of course, they have the right to have their own candidate, but I am convinced that this candidate cannot be opposition candidate. In the present format a candidate for the opposition cannot be nominated. ”
To the question of the reporters, then what was the vote against the government, the support of the PAP MPs to the ANC activists, she said. “A posture, of course, should be like that. I can say that this political power is constrained by the fact that its members are known as oligarchs, and are the integral part of the power. We want it or not, but this is the reality. The fact cannot denied or rejected.”
