ARF Supreme Body Armen Rustamyan stated that the party’s participation in the presidential election is not a self-objective. Apparently, the party is preparing for the presidential election with “Unified Headquarters- 2” operation, which matures by parliamentary elections example.
That means that there is great probability that the ARF will again join the tandem of ANC and “Prosperous Armenia” at the presidential elections. However, the PAP is trying to ensure that development.
This, of course, would be a rational decision for the ARF, taking into account that the party, as in all previous elections, now also has no resources to fight at serious levels of political life.
It should not be ruled out that the ARF party has hinted the PAP at the possibility of supporting their own candidate.
In other words, the ARF is not in agreement with them, but is simply trying to create a new discussion.
ARF is actually sets itself at the political market, gaining the so-called “free player” status. This may be due to the fact that at the presidential election Robert Kocharian has no particularly serious intentions, with who in recent years deal the ARF.
