The Russian president is said to have told Robert Kocharyan that Serge
Sargsyan is not a desirable successor of Robert Kocharyan. The news
reporters reminded about this, `I am surprised at the short-sightedness
of people, the poison and bile in our news reporters and politicians.
I treat many cases with humor because I know what this information
about the talk of the presidents of two countries means. In other
words, this wretched person circulated this information and confused
the society, considering that they have greater possibilities than the
special services of the world and can have information on it. It is
funny.’

Serge Sargsyan says these people have only one concern, `These people
want to be at the top of power. These people want to get great
influence on the society through dishonest ways. The wish to be at the
top of power is not condemnable, the methods and ways are condemnable.
Especially that sometimes these people make these analyses when they
are not sober.’

Serge Sargsyan also informed that opening the Russian-Georgian
checkpoint of Verin Lars, which has a vital importance for Armenia,
does not depend on us. When the Russian party finishes the repair,
the checkpoint will be opened. Serge Sargsyan thinks the closed
society does not affect our society.

Meanwhile, the military budget depends on us, which will grow along
with the growth of the GDP. 3.5 percent of the state budget will be
allocated for military expenditures. The defense minister of Armenia
thinks Azerbaijan will not cut military expenditures even after the
recommendations of the European Union.
