The president of the political scientists’ association Hmayak Hovhannisyan stated that it is not an exception ANC can make Kocharyan’s candidacy for the president since ANC today is greatly interested in that.
The reason for this might be Serzh Sargsyan’s probable removal of Robert Kocharyan and Gagik Tsarukyan from the political arena. “We live in times when everything can be justified”, said the political scientist.
