Sargsyan: Robert Kocharian won't be Prime Minister

PanARMENIAN.Net - Incumbent President Robert Kocharian will not be appointed Prime Minister, said Serzh Sargsyan, the President-elect of Armenia.



"If we had planned to exercise the Russian scenario, we would have announced it before the election. I have not decided who will head the government and I do not know when I will name the new Prime Minister," he said.



"ARF Dashnaktsutyun will join the coalition government. I also met with Vazgen Manukyan and other oppositionists. The new government's political program will be promulgated within 10 days. Formation of a new government is only the start of the work. I am confident that the coalition to be formed after April 9 will introduce significant changes in our country's development process. We have a serious program to implement," he said, adding, "There will be staff changes in the new government but not everything will change."



"There will be no extra parliamentary election. It would tense the situation," Mr Sargsyan said, the Public Television of Armenia reports.
