Armenia’s ambassador to the United Kingdom has not yet responded to Serzh Sargsyan’s offer to run for presidency, saying that he needs time to think over future plans.
Meeting with the president on Friday, Armen Sargsyan thanked him for the high level of trust and appreciation but said the responsible choice in the period, coinciding with transition to parliamentary government, requires a serious consideration, reports the presidential press service.
The diplomat agreed to President Sargsyan’s offer to conduct talks with parliamentary parties, expressing at the same a desire to have meetings also with representatives of the intelligentsia.
Highly praising the president’s proposal, Ambassador Sargsyan promised, in case of making a final decision, to discharge all his duties with honor.
