Minasyan: President’s statement should be welcomed as a political concept
It is not important when the new Prime Minister will be announced – today or on Monday, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP Mkrtich Minasyan told reporters on Friday.
Speaking about President Serzh Sargsyan’s statement that he will not seek another reelection, Minasyan said that it is a very important political statement and it should be welcomed as a political position and concept.
Former member of Armenia’s Supreme Council Azat Arshakyan said for his part that the President’s statement inspires hope, stressing that there is already a new political course in the country.
“I am convinced that one person should not claim to the post of head of state more than twice in Armenia,” Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said at the meeting with the commission for constitutional reform on Thursday. “Prior to starting the discussions, I announce that I will not run for presidency again,” Serzh Sargsyan said, adding that if the parliamentary government system is chosen as a result of the discussions, he will not claim to the post of Prime Minister, either.
