Although Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan had announced in early
February that two or three weeks later he would decide on running for
parliament, he still keeps silent, though almost two months have
passed instead of two or three weeks. Some analysts explain the
silence of the minister of defense in the context of aspirations to
presidency; Serge Sargsyan keeps silent and will not support any party
because he needs the support of all the political parties to become
president. On March 22, answering the questions of journalists, the
defense minister replied to this question, but his reply did not
reveal anything about his decision.

`Frankly speaking, there are such different comments that I sometimes
wonder how many Nostradamuses there are in our society, who know
everything, but unfortunately I do not know anything,’ said Serge
Sargsyan.
