We spoke with [National Assembly] Deputy Speaker [and RPA spokesperson] Eduard Sharmazanov to clarify as to when Sargsyan and Tsarukyan had last met. ‘I do not know about their private conversation, but I do know one thing that, regardless of what decision Mr. Tsarukyan will make, Serzh Sargsyan will win [the elections] big time,’ the RPA spokesperson assured,” Zhoghovurd writes.
