    YEREVAN

    Armenian Defence Minister Serzh Sarkisyan today described rumours
    about his intention to become president as a result of "palace
    intrigues" as "tawdry attempts to drive in a wedge between me and the
    president".

    The Armenian defence minister said that "[President] Robert Kocharyan
    will perform his duties under the constitution by the end of his
    tenure", Mediamax reports.

    Commenting on the proposal of the Progressive Youth Party of Armenia
    to support Sarkisyan's candidacy in the next presidential elections,
    the defence minister said: "If you think this party's statement has
    enhanced my authority, then this is your right."

    "There are still three years till the next presidential elections, so
    it is too early to speak about this. We should not hurry," the
    Armenian defence minister said.
