Leader of People's Party (ZhK) Tigran Karapetyan pledges to run in all elections in Armenia. He says he is mostly concerned over the situation in the political domain.
"I shall never deprive our people of an alternative option," Tigran Karapetyan told A1+.
Regarding National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abahamyan's statement that President Serzh Sargsyan will be reelected in 2012, the ZhK leader said: "It is Mr. Abrahamyan's personal opinion. Where would he know which of the candidates will be elected? Hovik Abrahamyan simply plays up to Serzh Sargsyan," said Tigran Karapetyan.
Responding to journalists' questions, the ZhK leader referred to Artashes Geghamyan's statement that he had always supported Serzh Sargsyan.
"People know everyone perfectly. For example, where is former Heritage member Vardan Khachatryan? I always speak straightforwardly," said Tigran Karapetyan.
The ZhK leader says people don't trust the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun either. "The ARF-D was a steamer pulling a few cars behind it. The party can no longer pull the cars and people have lost confidence in the party."
Tigran Karapetyan also predicts some changes in the Armenian National Congress. "The Congress has somehow softened and resembles a buttered loaf. It no longer speaks of the bandit regime. No one but me criticizes the regime today. I became a radical with my centrist stance. They say I have become an oppositionist but I have always been one."
