YEREVAN. – If Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) and ARF Dashnakstutyun decide to be united during the presidential elections next year, then it may be possible that they agree on nominating one joint candidate, which theoretically may be Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan, political scientist Alexander Markarov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to an opinion, the PAP and the ANC jointly move forward interests of one power, and Markarov believes that it may be Kocharyan. At the same time, the political scientist said that the PAP, the ANC and the ARFD may come to an agreement on Kocharyan issue.

“As a matter of fact, the PAP has four options: nominating own candidate, uniting with other political powers and nominating a joint candidate, agreeing with the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) about rejection of nominating own candidate, or supporting the RPA candidate. Depending on the choice of the PAP, it will be possible to forecast further development of situation,” Markarov concluded.

As the agency informed earlier, former ANC member David Shahnazaryan has stated in an interview with the Zhamanak newspaper that the triplet PAP, ANC and ARFD form the main institute of supporting Kocharyan.
