PanARMENIAN.Net – According to Hraparak daily, rumors that ex-president
Robert Kocharian won’t be running for president were confirmed.
According to earlier reports, Kocharian planned to enter the
presidential race as a Prosperous Armenia party candidate.
“The absence of Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan
at parliamentary debate over stripping ex-Foreign Minister Vatran
Oskanian of deputy immunity was the last straw to strengthen the
“wall of misunderstanding” between Kocharian and Tsarukyan.
Tsarukyan considers himself an independent player, and has long been
trying to free himself from the influence of Kocharian. That stance
was further fortified by the experts and image makers who led him to
believe that his funds will allow him to start his own game, free of
Kocharian and Serzh Sargyan’s influence,” the paper said.
