He holds rallies and is open for consultations,” the expert said, voicing confidence that the second meeting between Serzh Sargsyan and Raffi Hovannisian will take place. “Power shift won’t benefit the West due to the correct foreign policy reelected president Serzh Sargsyan pursues,” Mr Grigoryan said.
