Republican Party of Armenia Won’t Back Robert Kocharian: MP

Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) MP Rafik Petrosyan doesn’t believe that Robert Kocharian is a card that’s already been played.

According to him, Kocharian is still young and has the right to submit his candidacy for the next presidential elections.

“But since we are the Republican Party, and Robert Kocharian is not a party member, no one from the Republican Party will back him, support him. We have our candidate — Serzh Sargsyan,” said the MP.

Recall, on Oct. 1, Armenian National Congress (HAK) leader Levon Ter-Petrossian, speaking to supporters in Yerevan’s Liberty Square and weighing in on Kocharian’s possible return to active politics, said that this is a far-fetched topic, “because for any rational human being, Robert Kocharian is a card that’s already been played.”
