Armenia's Ambassador to UK Armen Sargsyan may become the fourth
president of the country, a Yerevan-based Haykakan Zhamanak Daily
writes.
Head of the President's Staff Vigen Sargsyan has submitted a proposal
to the Commission for Constitutional Reform to reduce the current
10-year of permanent residence in the country required from the
candidates for president. The paper writes that the amendment will
enable nominating Ambassador Armen Sargsyan as candidate for president
at the next presidential election in Armenia.
"Although Sargsyan has been living abroad for long years, his latest
appointment as Ambassador of Armenia to UK can be considered as
residence in the country, because the Embassy is considered the
territory of the country it represents in line with international
conventions. It has been rumored in the government circles recently
that Sargsyan will be appointed the prime minister and then will
be nominated for the position of the president of Armenia from the
Republican Party," the paper writes.
