Leader of “Dashnaktsutyun” parliamentary faction Aghvan Vardanian suggests holding a TV debate between the two candidates for the Armenian president participating in the second round – Robert Kocharian and Stepan Demirchian. As A.Vardanian said in an interview to the Public Television Company of Armenia, “the candidates could tete-a-tete consider the main problems arisen in Armenia recently.” In his words, “there are many tasks and each day could be devoted to a certain block of issues.” “It would let the public compare the two candidates and make a correct choice,” – A.Vardanian said. Let us note that according to a decision of the central electoral commission of Armenia, the second round of the presidential elections will be held in Armenia March 5. Acting president Robert Kocharian (49.8% votes) and leader of People party of Armenia Stepan Demirchian (28.3%) will participate in it.
