  President Sargsyan may benefit from snap election – expertNovember 7, 2011 - 15:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Both Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc and current leader Serzh Sargsyan may benefit from snap presidential election, according to a member of Armenian PR Association. “Pre-term election will give a new momentum to President Sargsyan,” Armen Martirosyan noted, citing Mikheil Saakashvili as an example. The director of P.Art PR company, Karen Kocharyan, however, characterized extraordinary elections as illogical, seeing no need for President Sargsyan to participate in those. Mikheil Saakashvili, elected as President of Georgia in 2004, resigned in November 2007 to enable snap elections in the country. Saakashvli, however, won in January 2008, taking advantage of the opposition’s unpreparedness.
