RA MINISTER OF DEFENSE FINDS PREMATURE TALKS ABOUT PROPOSING HIS
CANDIDACY FOR THE POST OF THE PRESIDENT OF ARMENIA
YEREVAN, July 4. /ARKA/. RA Minister of Defense Serge Sargsyan finds
premature talks about proposing his candidacy for the post of the
president of Armenia during the regular elections in 2008. According
to him, he hasn’t taken such a decision yet. In this regard he found
senseless the statements of some public and political circles about
supporting his candidacy. “It’s too early to speak about it, since
there are three years till the elections. Support may be to anyone
who proposed his candidacy in the framework of the law”, he said.
To note, presidential elections in Armenia were held in 2003. RA
Minister of Defense Serge Sargsyan headed the pre-election staff of
the current president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. A.H. -0–
