“168 zham” informs Hrant Bagratyan mill be the ANC’s alternative candidate only in case Levon Ter-Petrosyan refuses to put his candidacy. In case any other member of the ANC puts his candidacy, e.g., Levon Zurabyan or ANC agreeing to support PAP leader Tsarukyan, Bagratyan will support his own.
Bagratyan shares his views with those ANC members who are against ANC-PAP cooperation and in case he proposes his candidacy, the ANC will consecutively be a split political union ready to get out of the game. Bagratyan does not speak about this issue publicly but discusses it with ANC members and other political powers.
