ADVISER TO PRESIDENT: IT WILL NOT BE A TRAGEDY IF DEFENSE MINISTER DOES NOT BECOME PRESIDENT

Lragir, Armenia

It is commendable that Serge Sargsyan takes up almost all the
spheres. The adviser to president Garnik Isagulyan made this statement
at the Friday Club on December 4. "It is commendable that in all the
spheres where he assumes responsibility he is successful and we expect,
see and feel the results," says Garnik Isagulyan. This statement is
at least strange because its author is the adviser to the president
of Armenia. In fact, he confessed that Robert Kocharyan’s manpower
policy is not effective, and only Serge Sargsyan can reach success in
separate spheres. On the other hand, however, it is uncertain whose
adviser Garnik Isagulyan is because he speaks about Serge Sargsyan
or things that are related to him more than about the president of
Armenia. And since only one "sphere" remains which Serge Sargsyan
has not taken up, the office of the president of Armenia, it is
interesting to know what will happen in Garnik Isagulyan’s opinion
if Serge Sargsyan does not become president of Armenia.

"Well, we are always trying to create something. Yes, I expressed my
point of view and I still have it. Let us not go ahead of time and
guess what will happen if or if not. Let’s wait, when the time comes,
the corresponding processes will happen. There is no problem, and I
think it will not be a tragedy, if you said he does not become. Let’s
wait until the presidential election, then we’ll come back to this,"
Garnik Isagulyan says.
