Gagik Tsarukyan does not rule out the possibility of forming a  coalition with Samvel Karapetyan

ArmInfo.Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, is not seeking the position of the country's prime minister. He made this statement  when speaking to reporters.

"I will not be prime minister, and I don't see myself forming  a  coalition with either the previous or the current forces," Tsarukyan  stated. Despite having four prime ministerial candidates within the  party, Tsarukyan himself does not plan to run for the post. However,   he will head the party's election list.

In response to a question about whether he would support the  candidacy of the second President of the Republic of Armenia, Robert  Kocharyan, for prime minister, Tsarukyan answered negatively. "If  Robert Kocharyan is to become prime minister, then no," the PA leader  remarked, adding that he does not support the rise of  "former"  leaders to power. At the same time, he did not rule out the  possibility of forming a coalition with Samvel Karapetyan's Strong  Armenia party, noting the possibility of negotiations on this matter.  As for a coalition with the current political force, the politician  categorically rejected this possibility.

Tsarukyan also noted that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko  is his friend, who fully supports the Armenian people.
