YEREVAN. – Armenia’s incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan certainly has ideological opponents in the upcoming presidential elections, but he does not have any opponent with power resources and who is an election technology expert, Marxist Party of Armenia leader Davit Hakobyan stated during a press conference on Thursday.       

In his words, if Sargsyan is reelected as a result of the February 18 elections, he will not be able to hold office for even one year if he does not launch any measures to straighten out the situation in the country.    

“If Serzh Sargsyan wins [the elections], I have some demands [of him] which include the elimination of three important criminal elements: corruption, [unlawful] backing, and ethical terrorism. And, of course, forming of a new political team,” Hakobyan noted.      

As for his not running in the presidential race, the head of the Marxist Party of Armenia assured that if necessary, he and his supporters will be “at the right place, at the right time.”
