ArmInfo. Another pre-election meeting of the presidential candidate from the Republican Party of Armenia, the RA Ambassador to Great Britain Armen Sargsyan takes place, this time with representatives of the scientific community at the National Academy of Sciences, is taking place. Prior to the meeting with scientists, Armen Sargsyan agreed to answer only one question from journalists about the sensational interview to his wife, British Daily Mirror, in which she tells about the Sargsyan family.
Armen Sargsyan, in particular, assured that the interview was misinterpreted into the Armenian language, as a result of which an unreasonable public resonance arose. "If you read the interview in the original, you will see that my wife did not say that our sons are British, she just said that they in Britain feel like British, but they are proud Armenians." My sons are citizens of Armenia , with all the ensuing consequences, "- explained the candidate. It should be noted that previously Armenian media outlets translated the interview of Sarkisian's "Daily Mirror". According to the translated version, the wife of Armen Sargsyan admitted that her sons are British, but they are proud of their Armenian roots, which caused a public reaction in Armenia. On the eve of the meeting with the representatives of the Republican Party and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun party, Armen Sargsyan stated that the final decision on his nomination will be taken only after all meetings with the socio-political, scientific, cultural and other social circles of Armenia. However, as a high-ranking RPA representative remarked to ArmInfo correspondent, if Armen Sargsyan initially did not give his consent to the nomination, his candidacy would not officially be announced by President Serzh Sargsyan. The presidential elections in Armenia will be held on March 2. RPA and ARFD will support Sargsyan's candidacy. But for its passage they will need another 14 votes of deputies from other political forces.
