According to Hraparak daily, ex-president Robert Kocharian followed the suit of current leader Serzh Sargsyan and parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan in leaving Armenia.

Sources say Kocharian is visiting Moscow on private business, with his further plans undiscovered.

“Is Kocharian’s “surprise” meeting with Abrahamyan who urgently left Yerevan to join Sagryan and their simultaneous absence really a coincidence?” the daily questions.
