I WOULD HAVE NOT ENTERED ELECTORAL RACE WITHOUT COUNTING PROBABILITY OF WINNING
Without properly counting the probability of winning I would have not entered the electoral race. Having participated in the vote, candidate for the highest post of the country, acting Armenian president Robert Kocharian said. He expressed confidence in his victory in the first round of the elections and refrained from other comments on the issue. Let us note that to win the first round of presidential elections each candidate needs to collect more than half of the total number of votes. If none of the contenders gathers the necessary amount of votes, the second round will be held on the 14-th day after the first poll. Two candidates enjoying confidence of larger numbers of constituency will participate in it.
