Head of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group Galust Sahakyan said that changes in the leadership are made by the citizens through voting, but not by separate persons.

If the coalition continues working in a normal mode until the upcoming elections, it will only strengthen the positions of ruling political forces, Sahakyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

“The statements on coalition’s collapse are mere dreams of some politicians,” he said.

Sahakyan also referred to a recent meeting between Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharian with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. According to him, such meetings should be treated normally.

“I would like all Armenian presidents to remain in politics,” Sahakyan said, adding that Armenia’s second president is presently rather inert from the point of view of political activity.
