In response to the question whether he is former Prime Minister of Armenia Armen Sargsyan, Sharmazanov said: “Tomorrow you will know, and many of you already know him”.
According to Sharmazanov: “We hope that our nominated candidate can gain at least part of the opposition’s, if not of the whole, positive attitude. And those who in advance have already decided to vote against, deep in their hearts, I believe, they know that he has a lot of advantages”.
