About a month ago, the second and the third presidents of Armenia,
Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, held a private meeting. The
spotlight of the meeting was the presidential election of 2018,
Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Time) daily says with reference to
reliable sources.
The newspaper says during the meeting Sargsyan told Kocharyan that
in 2018 Seyran Ohanyan, Defense Minister of Armenia, will run for
president from the Republican Party of Armenia in 2018 no matter
whether the constitutional reforms on the republic's transition to
parliamentary regime are completed or not.
According to the source, Kocharyan replied that Ohanyan's candidacy
is actually acceptable to him. At the same time, Kocharyan failed to
promise that he himself will not run for president in 2018.
The thing is that Kocharyan is going to run for president in 2018 if
his candidacy is supported by the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP),
Haykakan Zhamanak says. "But if the PAP advances its leader Gagik
Tsarukyan's nominee, Kocharyan will support Ohanyan", says the
newspaper.
