Zatulin: Serzh Sargsyan will most likely take the post of Prime  Minister of Armenia after the expiration of presidential powers

ArmInfo. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, most likely, after the expiration of his term as head of state in April 2018, will head the Cabinet. The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee expressed such a view on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin.

"I again see Serzh Azatovich at the head of power, but already as  prime minister. Experience has shown that Armenia is able to make  such decisions that allow continuing the way without serious internal  cataclysms," Zatulin said during the Moscow-Yerevan space bridge.  Currently there are two candidates for the post of the Prime Minister  of Armenia after the transition to the parliamentary form of  government - President Serzh Sargsyan and the head of the Cabinet  Karen Karapetyan. Sargsyan during his last interview assured that he  had not yet decided on his political plans. Earlier, he assured that  if he passed the project of constitutional reforms on Armenia's  transition to a parliamentary form of government, he would not take  the post of prime minister. Meanwhile, recently the members of the  ruling Republican Party one by one declare that the most suitable  candidate for the post of prime minister after April 2018 is Serzh  Sargsyan, and no one in his post can replace him.

Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan, responding to a question about his  plans after April 2018, stated that he would continue to head the  Cabinet with pleasure. Serzh Sargsyan considered this Karapetyan's  aspiration "healthy", and his work of the Cabinet he evaluated  positively.
