Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Wednesday gave an extensive interview to the local TV channels, responding to questions concerning constitutional reforms and an upcoming referendum.
Armenia’s leader rules out a shadow cabinet in Armenia.
“Our country cannot have any shadow cabinet. And some of my problems come from my disagreeing with existence of a shadow cabinet. Without opening the brackets, I can say an interesting idea is emerging. You say; ‘the president, the premier our party-mates.’ Even if I state tomorrow that I resign as party leader, I am sure protesters will claim that if Serzh Sargsyan become president of the Chess Federation, he will continue in power in Armenia. But there is a limit to everything. What prevents them from taking part in elections? They do not take part or work, but they seek majority in national elections. But such things d not happen.”
