Serzh Sargsyan: It is better to pursue impeachment now rather than let the current administration continue governing for another year
According to Sargsyan, if this process is successful, the Republican Party would not oppose the candidacy of second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan for the post of Prime Minister. The ex- president noted that his political party, the RPA, would not object if someone from Robert Kocharyan's team becomes a candidate. "Do you really think that the second president will be a worse leader than the current leader of Armenia?" Serzh Sargsyan said. He added that it is better to pursue impeachment now rather than allow the current authorities to continue governing for another year, potentially making new steps that are dangerous for the country, for example, new territorial concessions to Azerbaijan.
When asked why the Armenian authorities are staying silent on the new statements from Baku regarding "Eastern Azerbaijan" and the return of 300 thousand Azerbaijanis to Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan suggested that the RA authorities are refraining from reacting in to soften the anger of the president of the neighboring country or to please the latter so that he does something good for them.
