Another prominent member of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) distanced himself on Friday from the latest election-related overtures made by a leader of the opposition bloc to Gagik Tsarukian's Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK).
Hrant Bagratian said Levon Zurabian, a close associate of HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrosian, expressed his personal opinion when he said late last month that the two political groups should join forces to unseat President Serzh Sarkisian in the upcoming presidential election.
Zurabian, who leads the HAK's parliamentary faction, said Tsarukian and his reputed political patron, former President Robert Kocharian, will be forced to leave the political arena and lose their "vast financial resources" if Sarkisian wins reelection. The BHK should therefore be interested in cooperating with Ter-Petrosian's bloc, Zurabian told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
