YEREVAN. – There are rumors being spread in recent times that the cooperation between the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) and non-pro-governmental Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) will finally result in that these two political forces will have a single candidate—in the person of second President Robert Kocharyan—in next year’s presidential elections, Aravot daily reports.     

Aravot clarified from PAP MP Mikayel Melkumyan: ‘Do you rule out that Robert Kocharyan will be ANC’s and PAP’s single candidate?’ He replied: ‘Nothing can be ruled out in general, but there is no discussion [made] so far; there is no decision [made]. So, as soon as there is [a decision], you definitely will know. But I don’t rule out any option.’ 

[And] To the query as to whether there is such option, Mr. Melkumyan responded: ‘There could be a variety of speculations whose foundations don’t exist today. There are speculations each of whose probability can be expressed in different percentages,’” Aravot writes.

Armenia’s second President could become opposition bloc’s and non-pro-governmental party’s single candidate?
