“If more than two opposition candidates run during the presidential race then we will lose 100%,” announced academician Rafael Ghazaryan during the interview to Radio Liberty. When reminded of the NDU’s chairman Vazgen Manukyan’s intention to run Ghazaryan said, “I am really concerned about the situation that has been created in the opposition field. The impression is that the governmental front is behaving in a more civilized manner. The opposition doesn’t have any moral right to brag right now. It has failed everything.”
