Disagreement over candidate within ARFD

“Irates De Facto” wrote under the heading “They say…”: Depending on the decision of Armenian National Congress (HAK), it is not ruled out that ARFD will struggle for second honorary place. There is, however, a disagreement within ARFD over the person of the candidate. Vahan Hovhannisian is a suitable candidate, he has charisma, but the “Serzh Sargsyan” wing of the ARFD does not like him, besides, he has already been nominated once.

Armen Rustamian has no charisma, is not a great orator, and Serzh Sargsyan likes Hrant Margarian more than Rustamian. So his candidacy is in question. Hrant Margarian has no desire to try on “a candidate’s uniform” because he feels fine without it. The issue is under discussion, and it is not ruled out that rank-and-file members will impose their decision-candidate on ARFD”.
