Heritage member skeptical about snap presidential elections in Armenia August 9, 2011 - 13:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of Heritage opposition party Armen Martirosyan is skeptical about the possibility of snap presidential elections. “Some opposition parties support Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, strengthening his position in the eyes of international community,” Martirosyan told a news conference in Yerevan, explaining the reason behind his skepticism. However, the oppositionist declined to provide details, offering journalists to take a guess, while citing Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrossian. As the latter noted at recent ANC rally, “opposition-coalition dialogue benefited the state, increasing its authority with the international community.” Martirosyan, however, refused to provide comments on the course of the dialogue. As he noted, the authorities will risk pre-term elections only in case they’re certain of their superiority or resolve to sacrifice them in favor of a specific person. “With regular elections coming, several months won’t make a difference in any case,” the oppositionist concluded.
