Armenian president knows who may become next leader of the country

YEREVAN, October 5. /ARKA/. Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan knows who would be the next  leader of the country.

Speaking October 1 in a “reference-free” discussion held by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in New York Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan said he really could predict who would  be the future leader of Armenia, but said he  feared that if he announced the name, that  person would  have to go through hellish days before becoming the  leader. 

‘And second, I am afraid that this person will misjudge my prediction now", Sargsyan said.
"But I know who it could be, and in my opinion, the duty of any high-ranking leader is to see who will replace him, but not to necessarily make statements to that regard", said Sargsyan.

Sargsyan’s second presidential term will expire in 2018. He has no right to seek a third term, but before that Armenians will go to the polls to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a package of constitutional reforms designed to make  Armenia a parliamentary republic..-0-
