"Today I am not in the mood to give an interview, please respect my right to that. I will give an interview some other time." Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Karen Karapetyan said this today, March 13, outside the Anti-Corruption Court, declining to answer journalists' questions.

He only noted that he definitely supports Samvel Karapetyan and believes that the opposition will win.

Asked whether he has contacts with the third President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, he answered affirmatively. "There are contacts," he said.

The Anti-Corruption Court is hearing a motion to extend Samvel Karapetyan's arrest. A large number of his supporters have gathered in the court's courtyard.
