YEREVAN.- ARF Dashnaktsutyun will clarify the issue of its participation in the upcoming presidential election in December, ARFD member Armen Rustamyan said on Friday.

The party has an objective to investigate the current situation in the country on the occasion of upcoming presidential election.  Assessment will be presented at the December meeting of the supreme assembly. Then, the final decision will be made, Rustamyan told reporters.

The party will do its best to consolidate the opposition camp. In this context, Rustamyan noted that ARFD intends to publish a 2009 platform and will try to consolidate the opposition around it.

“We should not focus on the issue of a single opposition candidate. This issue is not that important. The candidate can be a completely neutral person. He has to come to power and abandon the existing political system in favor of a parliamentary system of government,” he emphasized.
