    ARMENIAN RULING PARTY COMMENTS ON SECOND PRESIDENT'S OPINION

    Every politician, former president or a citizen of Armenia decides
    for himself to put his candidacy in the elections, after consulting
    with his team said the spokesperson of the ruling Republican Party
    of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov in a conversation with Armenian
    News-NEWS.am. Sharmazanov commented on the interview of the second
    president Robert Kocharyan, where the former announced his decision
    not to run for the elections.

    "A month ago I said that no matter who will run for the elections,
    they will be competing for the second place. Republican Party and
    the incumbent president have worked very honestly, very fair, very
    transparent and, most importantly, went through dialogue and agreement
    over these years," Sharmazanov said.

    Recall that Robert Kocharyan identified three main factors that
    encourage him to refrain from returning to active politics.

    "The first thing is that the struggle for power between two people from
    Karabakh, two longtime allies for me is unacceptable: it would create
    a situation of difficult choice for many, and would be transformed
    into an object of manipulations. Also, I was the one who suggested the
    incumbent president as my successor, and his desire for re-election
    is understandable. Second, I would not want to take part in the
    formation of an extremely unpleasant and dangerous format for the
    country, the struggle for power of the three presidents. And third,
    search for a political compromise in Armenia has become a political
    retail trade. And it is not something that I would like to spend my
    time, knowledge and experience on.

    These circumstances, of course, are not the main factors, but I thought
    that these factors are rather important from the emotional and ethical
    point of view. As a reason, I will give only short interviews, but
    only in those cases where no response would be incomprehensible,"
    Kocharyan said.
