SERGE SARGSYAN WANTS FREE, FAIR AND TRANSPARENT ELECTION IN 2007
I can say one thing, we did not give the Iran-Armenia pipeline to
anyone, said the minister of defense, the chair of the
Russian-Armenian interstate commission Serge Sargsyan October 25 to
news reporters. `I can say one thing: we did not give the
Iran-Armenia pipeline to anyone. The director of Armrusgasard has
told about it in detail. There is not a document. I promise you once
again that I will ask the director of Armrusgazard to talk to you
about the details of these problems,’ said Serge Sargsyan to the news
reporters, who were literally pursuing him.
They asked different questions to the defense minister on different
developments. For instance, Serge Sargsyan was asked why Robert
Kocharyan did not receive the U.S. envoy to the OSCE. `Why are you
asking me that,’ answered the defense minister.
In answer to the question if he will become president of Armenia, the
defense minister said, `If you help to hold a good, transparent, free
and fair parliamentary election in 2007, I will make a decision.’
