Tashnaq MP Hagop Pakradonian said on Wednesday that the Change and Reform ticket in the Metn district will win six seats, noting that MP Michel Murr might break the list thanks to the Armenian support.

Speaking to Al-Manar, Pakradonian noted, however, that there was some nervousness within the Armenian bases over the support for Murr. He said that some Murr spokesmen were assailing the Armenians, "and therefore I cannot guarantee that the popular bases will vote in favor of Murr in an intensive way."

While noting that the Tashnaq's leadership will vote for Murr, he said he wishes this leadership wouldn't change its mind at the last moment. "We just hoped MP Murr and his son, Defense Minister Elias Murr, denied what they were quoted as saying against the Armenians," he added.

Pakradonian said that the Tashnaq party will decide who to vote for on the list, after he discusses it with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun two days before elections.
