Armenia’s third president confirms information about meeting Levon Ter-Petrosyan and rejecting proposal

Armenia’s third president Serzh Sargsyan confirmed that he met on May 1 with Armenia’s first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan and that he has rejected the proposal to participate in the elections with a bloc.

“In response to Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s offer voiced during the meeting, Serzh Sargsyan stressed that the bilateral bloc cannot be effective, reminding his position voiced during the previous meeting, according to which the bloc of ex-presidents of Armenia may be effective only if all the parties have principle consent in the issue. As to the text of the statement published by Levon Ter-Petrosyan, President Sargsyan sees it for the first time,” the office of the third president said in a statement.
