Did he find out after coming to power? Serzh Sargsyan, the third President of Armenia, told this to reporters Friday, referring to PM Nikol Pashinyan's statement that he had suspicions that there will be a war, and that is why the then-authorities let him come to power.

"But if he found out after that, what will they make reference to what I said in 2016, 2017? If they found out that it was so, why did they ‘torture’ themselves to come to power? Did I say that ‘either I will be the prime minister, or Armenia shall not have a prime minister?’ All the words of those people fit into my previous words," ex-President Sargsyan said referring to the incumbent Armenian authorities.
