Leader of the Bright Armenia party Edmon Marukyan has said he has not received an offer to become the country's new President.

Marukyan made the remarks during his visit to Yerablur military pantheon on Friday, January 28, the day Armenians worldwide mark Army Day, Panorama.am reports.

The former lawmaker said as long as the powers of President Armen Sarkissian have not been terminated – one week has to pass after his resignation – it makes no sense to comment on rumors on him becoming the country's new president.

Marukyan added that despite the fact that his party did not win seat in the parliament, they continue serving the nation.
