As the First Armenian News and Analyses reports, Gagik Tsarukyan has decided to put his candidacy for the upcoming presidential elections. As the news state, he informed about this decision in Brussels.
Another source reports Tsarukyan met Sargsyan about a week ago and informed about his firm decision to put his candidacy for the elections. Tsarukyan said the decision was not spontaneous and was not made within a night. It is another question that he takes the advantage of the electoral code book to announce his decision later. He stated this was a good opportunity to listen to other fractions’ opinions too.
The official web site of the NA states Tsarukyan was born on 1956 November 25 in Village Arindj, Abovyan region. 1989 – graduated from the Armenian Institute of Physical Culture

2012 – elected as an MP
Tsarukyan is married and has 6 children.
Significant to see that Tsarukyan’s biography starts from 1989, when he was already 33 years old.
