ARMENIAN PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THE HEIR’S NAME
The Armenian president Robert Kocharyan is not going to announce the name of the person whom he sees as the next president because he has already announced his name for several times, said the speaker of the Armenian president Victor Soghomonyan in a news conference on September 14. “You see, the president has already announced his name, I think. I am surprised to hear you ask this question because there have been several occasions already, and the president stated distinctly that he sees the prime minister in the post of the next president. He has already stated, if you remember, for instance, the interview with the Spiegel when the reporter asked the president directly if the president will endorse him and he said yes,” Victor Soghomonyan says.
The speaker explains the president’s stance: “Obviously, there is no other politician in Armenia who is as experienced and able to perform these functions.” “In the president’s opinion, in our opinion. Yes, there is such a candidate, it is Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan,” Victor Soghomonyan said.
However, the reporters reminded that in the public activities of Serge Sargsyan, who is obviously experienced as he put it, there were episodes when he obviously failed to perform his functions causing dramatic consequences for the country. The reporters perhaps meant October 27 when the Ministry of National Security led by Serge Sargsyan was unable to prevent the terrorist attack on the National Assembly. The speaker of the president said this is a rhetorical question.
As to Robert Kocharyan’s approach toward the possible nomination of the ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Victor Soghomonyan said it is the constitutional right of the ex-president, and Levon Ter-Petrosyan can decide how expedient his nomination for the post of president of Armenia is. Victor Soghomonyan also said that the president and the president administration work by the usual schedule, and the fact that Robert Kocharyan leaves office in a few months did not change the working mode. Victor Soghomonyan said the reporters may soon have an opportunity to ask their questions to the president directly.
