Serzh Sargsyan on Participation in the 2026 Elections

In this situation, peace will come just like our mouths sweeten when we say halva, right? This was stated by Armenia’s third president, Serzh Sargsyan, during a conversation with reporters.

In response to a question about what tools should be used to fight against Nikol Pashinyan, and whether one should speak to him in his own language, Sargsyan said, "We have proposed a toolkit; I do not think there is a lack of criticism. I am not capable of speaking his language, excuse me."

Regarding whether the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) would participate in the 2026 parliamentary elections if it does not succeed in removing Nikol Pashinyan through impeachment, the third president replied, "Well, we’ll see. There is no decision yet."
