Karen Karapetyan: I am not among those who are trying to persuade Serzh Sargsyan (video)
Head of the Yelk faction in the National AssemblyNikol Pashinyan today addressed a question to Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan during the debates on the government program for 2017-2022. “It turns out that the Yelk and prime minister expressed a desire to hold a meeting with the mediation of the parliament speaker, but there was some misunderstanding. If you look through the list of lawmakers who registered to ask questions to the PM, you will get the impression that only the Yelk and Tsarukyan alliances have come to meet the PM. I cannot understand why the other MPs have come here today. Will you agree to work as PM after 2018? Please, answer me again. Will you want to be PM again? You say that you have repeatedly answered the question. Perhaps we have missed something. Will you repeat the answer so that we can put it down? Now I have another observation: the parliamentary majority is trying to persuade Serzh Sargsyan to give up the idea of not becoming PM. Are you among them? “If you want we can meet today. The issue of my becoming prime minister is within the frame of political correctness, that is why I cannot answer clearly. I cannot insist anything because I become a target for criticism. Let me say this way: I am ready to be prime minister. As for those who convince Serzh Sargsyan, let me say that I am not among them,” Karen Karapetyan said.
