ArmInfo.Vigen Sargsyan, the Armenian Defense Minister, hopes to stay at his post after Parliamentary Elections planned for April 2, 2017.
"I would be the happiest man, if the results of our party ( ruling Republican Party of Armenia) would allow me to continue my work at the post occupied as long as possible - to improve the capacity of our Military Forces and to increase the level of defense," Sargsyan stated in his interview to the 1st Public Channel. Referring to the circulating information of media regarding the probability of leading the RPA electoral list with further reassignment, Sargsyan mentioned that it is just a tool to attract a larger auditory.
"I think all these issues that raise interest recently, already have their answers. To be more exact - Karapetyan will be our Prime Minister if RPA succeeds at Parliamentary Elections. And that does not depend on what list of candidates will be published by the Party Board. The leader of our Party is Serzh Sargsyan. All those who try to propose other options are just running for auditory," Sargsyan summarized.
