Armenia’s second President, Robert Kocharyan, will not cast his ballot during the country’s presidential election being conducted Monday, Kocharyan’s office manager Victor Soghomonyan said.

He noted that the second President is not in Armenia at present, and that is why he will not be able to vote. But Kocharyan’s office manager did not elaborate on the whereabouts of the previous president and the purpose of his trip abroad.

To note, a presidential vote is conducted in Armenia on Monday. The seven presidential candidates that are running in the election are: Ruling Republican Party leader and incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, opposition Heritage Party Chairman and former FM Raffi Hovannisian, opposition Freedom Party Chairman and former PM Hrant Bagratyan, opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic former FM Arman Melikyan, “Radio Hay” Company Manager and political scientist Andreas Ghukasyan, and non-party affiliate and epic poetry specialist Vardan Sedrakyan.
