/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Presently, Armenian Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan is
the most serious presidential contender, Armenian political scientist
Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.
Serge Sargsyan possesses political power and huge experience, according
to him.
"The President, who determines the foreign policy of the state,
should be guided by national interests.
Otherwise, he will share the fate of first President Levon
Ter-Petrosian, who had to resign," he said.
Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosian was forced to hand in
resignation on 4 February 1998 after he proposed to cede to Azerbaijan
the NKR security zone and admit the package of stepwise settlement.
Ter-Petrosian used to voice an opinion that NKR independence would
provoke a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan sooner or later.
