YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has slammed media rumors on his alleged desire to see former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan take office as president as “absurd”.

“Let’s not speak about absurd things. The President of Armenia has been elected in March of this year and he still has 7 years of tenure ahead,” Pashinyan said.

Certain media reports alleged that the PM is willing to see Ter-Petrosyan back in office as President.
