The ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s candidate will run for 2013 presidential elections, ARFD member Artyusha Shahbazyan told the journalists today.

“The ARFD is an independent political force pursuing its own political course. Party’s activities are not conditioned by certain political figures,” secretary of ARFD’s parliamentary group said.

The party’s candidate polled only 6% of the vote during the 2008 presidential elections.
