The chairman of parliamentary commission for agriculture and nature protection, a member of Orinats Yerkir parliamentary group Khachik Harutyunyan expressed the group’s intention to support the candidature of Serzh Sargsyan at 2013 presidential elections.

As he noted at news conference in Yerevan, in 2008, the parliamentary group leader Artur Baghdasaryan and Serzh Sargsyan signed a coalition agreement. The agreement stipulated for Baghdasaryan to refrain from running for president in 2013. “We intend to fulfil the agreement in question,” he said.
