YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 12, ARMENPRESS. Armen Sarkissian, the ruling party’s candidate for the upcoming presidential election, says if elected he doesn’t rule out meetings with First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Second President Robert Kocharyan.

After touring the physics-mathematics school after Artashes Shahainyan in Yerevan, Sarkissian told reporters that he has met with Armenian National Congress members – the party led by former president Ter-Petrosyan.

“We had rather open discussions. I disagree with their assessments over certain issues, but there were also other issues regarding which we had a common opinion. I believe our relations will continue in the same manner”, Sarkissian said.

Asked if he is going to meet Levon Ter Petrosyan individually, Sarkissian said : “I think we can talk about such meeting when I will decide to be nominated and get elected to office. At that time I will perhaps meet both the first, and second presidents”, he said.
