WHAT MUST BE, MUST BE

Politics

“There is tremendous difference between the present and 1998, when political field is firmly divided in two: Levon Ter-Petrossyan loyalists united on a common ideological ground and the opposition. Today, political field is blurred and people are growing increasingly desperate”, the National Democratic Union leader Vazgen Manoukyan said today at Press Club.

He says he has much chance to be elected as a president, while Kocharyan would have a slim chance of winning in case of fair and just election.

However, nowadays, when control lever is in his hand and people are fallen in passiveness and guided by motto of “what must be, must be”, Kocharyan can reckon on success.

Objecting to the opinion being spread by Kocharyan’s close circle, according to which, there is no any alternative to his candidacy all over the republic, Manoukyan said there were many alternatives among intellectuals and politicians. The think is that they unlike him don’t possess administrative resources and hold the lever. But this is not for ever.

Vazgen Manoukyan also spoke on Kocharyan’s recent statement made in Prague that Nagorno-Karabakh republic has empowered him to hold negotiations while Naira Melkumyan, speaking on behalf of the official Karabakh, expressed discontent with the fact that the republic isn’t considered as a negotiating side.

The president is extremely self-assured person, Manoukyan noted quoting Kocharyan as saying “I am able to do this, I am the only man and so on”.
