ArmInfo. "I do not consider Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s meeting with some
representatives of the ARF Dashnaksutyun Party to be a great occasion,
so it’s not a surprise to me," Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan
said in parliament, Wednesday, commenting upon the meeting of the
first president of Armenia with ARFD representatives.

S.Sargsyan noted that he doesn’t perceive the presidential election
as a fight of rivals, but only an occasion to present the country’s
future to people. "We are going to continue the calm policy we have
been conducting during the past parliamentary election," he stressed.

The prime minister also noted that if he continues his activity in
power, then his main efforts in foreign policy will be focused on
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

Asked about possible appointment of Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan to the post of Armenian prime minister after his term in
office expires, S.Sargsyan replied: "I don’t see that R.Kocharyan
wants it, and I am not going to comment on this issue".
