I will not quit politics: Sasun Mikayelyan

Today, Sasun Mikaelyan was also present at the ordinary convention of “Republican” party, whom the journalists posed some questions.

- What are your expectations from the presidential elections?

- You mean, what benefits do I have?

- No, I mean what are your expectations within the interests of the society?

- Everything concerning the interests of society will be known at the end of the year.

- Can you say anything, before the end of the year? Are quitting the ANC?

- I will speak of that issue as well, but at the end of the year. Everyone speaks about my leaveing ANC and not leaving. There was National Movement, and I appeared in the square where the people were standing. There was neither ANC nor any other opinion. People protested and me too, in that square.

- Now it’s passive, it seems there is no National Movement.

- People are never passive. It’s our great politicians that are passive. And it is them who should assess that passiveness and not me. I am always with the people.

- Do you mean Levon Ter-Petrosyan by saying great politicians?

- Why Levon Ter-Petrosyan?

- Mr. Mikayelyan, the large social masses do not come out to the streets. Why?

- The Russian have a proverb, it says, “Never say never”. The time will come and people will protest so hardly that the present politicians will not even imagine.

- Mr. Mikayelyan do you want Levon Ter-Petrosyan to run for president?

- I will tell you after thinking over. I will answer that question at the end of the year.

- Mr. Mikayelyan, your colleague in ANC Petros Makean says that ANC is in inaction. What are your thoughts about this?

- I am not at a hurry. We will talk about it at the end of the year. I should know, I will never quit politics.

- And the last question; What do you expect from the ANM convention to be held tomorrow? Will Levon Ter-Petrosyan be proposed as a candidate?

- I am not a prophet. But some feeling inside prompts me the answer of that question. I will not answer that question now. You will get the answers of those questions from Levon Ter-Petrosyan tomorrow evening.

- Will Levon Ter-Petrosyan be present at the ANM convention?

- My dear, ask him about that!
