KOCHARIAN WILL SPEAK OF HIS SUCCESSOR ON PRESIDENTIAL POST CLOSER TO NEXT ELECTION
Closer to the next election I will speak in more detail about my successor on the presidential post, Armenian President Robert Kocharian said in an interview with "Golos Armenii" newspaper. Answering the question on preparing a worthy successor, ad exemplum of Boris Yeltsin, R. Kocharian noted that Russian statehood traditions differ from the Armenian ones. The issue of a successor in the Armenian performance should sound differently, he said.
