ArmInfo. A protest action is held near the central office of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia at the intersection of Tigran Mets Avenue and Melik-Adamyan Street. It is expected that at today's meeting of the RPA Supreme Body, the candidacy of the ex-President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan will most likely be nominated for the post of prime minister of the country.
Participants of the protest rally included statements of Serzh Sargsyan from 2014 using street loudspeakers. Then at the meeting of the commission, which announced the launch of constitutional reforms, Serge Sargsyan said that if the constitutional reforms succeed, he personally will not qualify for the post of president or prime minister. "I officially declare that I, Serge Sargsyan, will never again be nominated for the post of the President of the Republic of Armenia. If, as a result of the final discussions, a path is chosen that does not correspond to my desire, I mean the parliamentary model, then I will not pretend to be a prime minister," Sargsyan said.
Members of the initiative group came to a consensus with representatives of the party "Civil Treaty" regarding joint participation in various protest actions. The State Duma, in turn, initiated a march across Armenia from March 31st as a sign of protest against the possible premiership of Serzh Sargsyan. On April 13, a rally of the Civil Contract on the Freedom Square is expected, the action will last 4 days, and on April 17 - on the day of the prime minister's election, the oppositionists intend to block the entrances to the building of the National Assembly in order to obstruct the voting.
