Eduard Sharmazanov: ANC rating falling
Eduard Sharmazanov, spokesman for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, said he is disappointed with the recent statement ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan made.

Addressing the demonstrators last Friday, Ter-Petrosyan said he will run for President in case of preterm election "only if Robert Kocharian is not nominated."

"It's an approach demonstrated by an ambitious person. Ter-Petrosyan is struggling against Armenia's second President Robert Kocharian but not for the national interests," Sharmazanov said, adding that ANC rating is falling.

"Rallies are organized in order to maintain the opposition electorate till 2012 parliamentary elections," he said.
