Sargsyan heads RPA’s proportional list in parliamentary elections to be held on April 2. Ohanian served as the country’s defense minister before PM Karen Karapetyan appointed Sargsyan in this post. Speaking to RFE/RL Armenian Service, Sargsyan said he follows election campaigns and is surprised by a lot of things. “I am surprised at Ohanyan’s own pledge to “fight RPA,” and his dialogue with such political forces with whom his previous relationships are very well known to me,” Sargsyan said. “Nevertheless, a person has the constitutional right to run and struggle, and it’s up to an individual to fight for one side or the other, depending on whether they are or are not in office at the moment.” Top stories President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova.
