Head of the Republican faction of the National Assembly Galust Sahakyan
declared one of these days that during the meeting of the Republican
Party on July 22 code changes will be implemented to allow a number of
political figures, including Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan to join
the Political Council of the Party. The press wrote that the Defense
Minister would be elected co-President of the Party. Serge Sargsyan
said today that he is not aware of such statement, "Possibly, such
opinions exist. I think everything will become clear in the coming
7-10 days. I neither deny nor confirm this. You see how the events are
developing. Don’t pay that much attention to the issue, it is a normal
process. I will joint some party, of course having no intention to
establish hostile or unfriendly relations with other political forces."

As for the suppositions that the Defense Minister is going to
occupy the Prime Minister’s and later the President’s position,
Serge Sargsyan responded, " We’ll go for parliamentary elections,
and these will show what every political force should be engaged in."
