ArmInfo. Today, security is the biggest challenge for Armenia,
especially as we have an unsettled conflict and live in a very
complicated region, President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan said in an
interview to local TV channels today.

"We must see who of the candidates can face this challenge. In my
opinion, the man who has been our defense minister for 8.5 years can do
it. He has gone a long way and has acquired sufficient experience for
becoming president," Kocharyan said.

"Serzh Sargsyan has been prime minister for just 10 months but he has
already managed to solve lots of social problems. Serzh Sargsyan is
able to respond to the coming challenges – the economic reforms. Levon
Ter-Petrossyan cannot do it: in his time he inherited a well-off
country but gave me nothing but ruins. He was a bad president and by
resigning he admitted that. Armenia needs a president who has
experience of construction rather than destruction. Serzh Sargsyan is a
person who can ensure the economic prosperity of Armenia and I am going
to vote for Serzh Sargsyan." "Besides, if Sargsyan wins, there will be
no confrontation among the branches of the government," Kocharyan said.
