YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The activeness recently displayed
by RA Defence Minister Serge Sargsian is very natural as he is
the Council Chairman of the Republican Party as well and presents
himself as every politician on the threshold of elections. RA Prime
Minister, RPA Chairman Andranik Margarian stated about it in the
December 6 interview to journalists. "Why do you lay stress only
on the Defence Minister’s activeness, don’t you notice activeness
of other forces, of the National Assembly, for example," the Prime
Minister mentioned. Responding the question if he shares the opinion
that the most suitable candidate for the next president of the
republic is S.Sargsian, A.Margarian said that the RPA will speak
about its candidate for the republic president only after the 2007
parliamentary elections. And in his words, there is no basis to speak
about possibility of president’s special elections.

A.Margarian considered natural activization of the political forces
represented at the parliament as well, as, in his words, there are
some months remained before the pre-electoral propaganda. At the
same time the Prime Minister called to guard oneself from personal
injuries and criticize the done work but not ideologies of people or
political forces.
