I don’t rule out the return of former Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan. Robert Kocharyan—the second President, leader of the "Armenia" bloc which will run in Sunday’s snap parliamentary elections, and its candidate for prime minister—said this in an interview with Russian media.

When asked if Karapetyan’s return is possible and what his status will be, Kocharyan said the following: “We communicate on a regular basis. I simply regret the fact that he left. I believe what happened back then was wrong. In any case, I will make him an offer.” Asked if this is under consideration, Kocharyan said it would be better to not discuss this now.
