YEREVAN. – Epos specialist, and presidential, candidate Vardan Sedrakyan extends his satisfaction and gratitude to opposition Armenian National Congress leader, and First President, Levon Ter-Petrosyan for his wise decision to not run in the elections to be held on February 18, 2013. Sedrakyan himself said this, during a press conference on Thursday, adding, however, that the arrogance of the other presidential hopefuls does not permit him to thank them, as well.     

In his words, by not running for president, Ter-Petrosyan will not create any obstacles during the election campaign of the epos specialist.   

“I also thank [second President] Robert Kocharyan for not running [in the elections] and not creating artificial barriers during my campaign. It would be a great honor for me to work with them after the elections and my victory. I had said that they will become my advisers when I become president. And with respect to [serving President] Serzh Sargsyan, he will be defeated after a civilized [election] battle, and likewise become my senior advisor,” Vardan Sedrakyan added.
