YEREVAN. – The Presidential Palace is drawing up a variety of scenarios and offers in return for the Prosperous Armenia Party’s (PAP) support of incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan in next year’s presidential elections, Zhamanak daily reports referring to sources close to the authorities. 

“Accordingly, during the meeting between Serzh Sargsyan and [PAP leader] Gagik Tsarukyan it was said that Serzh Sargsyan has agreed to dismiss PM Tigran Sargsyan after the elections, if Tsarukyan agrees to support him [in the elections] and announces this.

In return, it was offered to appoint after the elections a mutually acceptable person to the PM’s post. It has not yet been discussed as to who that person might be, but this does not mean the PM’s office will be given to the PAP,” Zhamanak writes.
