Sociologist Aharon Adibekyan told the First Armenian News and Analysis that in order to know the right priority of the candidate names for the president, these names should first of all be listed.
Adibekyan states the most intriguing part is Tsarukyan’s decision, also whether Ter-Petrosyan will put his candidacy or not. If both put their candidacy, Ter-Petrosyan might take votes from Tsarukyan if not then the votes will be distributed among Tsarukyan and Hovhannisian. Adibekyan states Raffi Hovhannisian is a very serious candidate and in order to have the full picture, they should wait for Tsarukyan’s decision.
According to Adibekyan, Raffi Hovhannisian has 30% of the votes and it is probable he gets another 15% if the opposition does not come up with a single candidate. The sociology says in case Tsarukyan puts his candidacy Hovhannisian will get about 45% if he supports Tsarukyan.
