YEREVAN. – Programs are very important for a politician; I will be guided by political programs, National Self-Determination Union (NSU) Chairman—and Armenian presidential hopeful—Paruyr Hayrikyan said during a press conference on Wednesday.

Reflecting on the main contenders for the Office of the President of Armenia, he noted that incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, former FM Raffi Hovannisian, and former PM Hrant Bagratyan had spoken against him at the time.

“All of them were government representatives and were against me. But I do not consider them to be my opponent. They are my friends who, based on noble intentions, have forgotten their past,” the NSU leader stressed.
