The upcoming snap parliamentary elections in Armenia will not go smoothly, Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan told a meeting with his supporters on April 26, expressing conviction the current authorities will make every effort to win reelection.

The official Facebook page of the former president released a video featuring the third part of the meeting on Friday.

However, Kocharyan stated the participation of every citizen in the elections will enable Armenia to get out of a situation in which many are going to emigrate and the nation has "bowed its head", adding great efforts are needed to restore and strengthen the economy, Armenia’s position in negotiations and important role in the region.

Kocharyan is convinced that “we have the necessary potential due to which we can create a modern state, introducing technologies and becoming stronger.”
