YEREVAN. – I do not expect any acute domestic political processes in Armenia, and there will be a collapse that will start from the team of incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan. A1+ Television Director Mesrop Movsesyan—who is nominated candidate, from the list of the opposition Heritage Party-led “Barev [Hello], Yerevan” bloc, to run in the capital city Yerevan municipal elections to be held on May 5—stated this during a press conference on Tuesday.    

“Serzh Sargsyan’s team should give up its positions. I am confident that the time for the collapse of the present-day authorities will definitely come. Serzh Sargsyan understands everything clearly, and his team is already preparing for this,” Movsesyan noted.       

In his conviction, the people will commence the process on April 9—that is, the day when President Sargsyan is scheduled to formally swear in for a second term in office—, and this could bring about some changes.

“I am confident that Serzh Sargsyan is incapable of carrying out any reforms in the country because he is too dependent on his circles,” Movsesyan stressed.  

He added that the Armenian people should make use of Heritage Party Chairman, former FM Raffi Hovannisian—who was declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential election that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the real winner in the vote—to achieve their objectives and to come out of the current situation.
