It means they are not officially in the Tashnag party, kinda like Neemetallah Abi Nasr and Walid Khoury and Farid el Khazen vis a vis FPM.

Gregoire Kaloust... Dedicated all his life to serve the community and became principal to one of the biggest Armenian Schools in Lebanon. Since 2001 he is the principal and from that time, the school became one of the best & inspired generations and generations...

Vrej Sabounjian... A very clean and honorable business man.. Owner, founder and president of Vresso SAL ( Probably you all see the name on every fridge in every Supermarket, resto etc etc).

Arthur Nazarian... He was minister before and everyone knows how clean he is

Pakradounian... Principal of one of the schools in Lebanon, and MP since 2005. Don't need to say more about him.

Kassardji... Served all his life in politics and till now no one accused him of being not clean.

So the only thing common in all of the candidates?
Clean like a white sheet
