Serzh Sargsyan Simply Moving a Knight from One Place to Another: Former Foreign Minister

Hovik Abrahamyan’s resignation from the position of National Assembly Chair is simply a rearrangement ahead of elections — Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is moving one knight from one place to another so that the coming elections can be reproduced with fraud, said Free Democrats party member, former foreign minister of Armenia Alexander Arzumanyan, speaking to Epress.am.

“These changing of places are aimed at coordinating and reproducing fraud during elections. And whoever interferes with Serzh Sargsyan on that road, he will remove them. He will also take certain actions for show [as a formality]: he will dismiss a few corrupt officials, but again I say, there won’t be any substantial changes. These are [simply] preparations for the elections,” he said.
