25 Years Ago: Prime Minister Armen Sarkissian Published His Resignation Text from London, Says Karen Kocharyan

Political technologist Karen Kocharyan's post: "Exactly 25 years ago, Prime Minister Armen Sarkissian published his resignation text from London. A few days later, Robert Kocharyan was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia by the decree of President Levon Ter-Petrosyan. One year later, Levon Ter-Petrosyan also resigned. I simply recalled our recent past as an old man. P.S. The start of constitutional changes has been given.

It is worth mentioning that Armen Sarkissian was a lecturer at the Yerevan State University Faculty of Physics from 1976 to 1990. He founded the subdivision of mathematical modeling of complex systems at the Chair of Theoretical Physics at YSU.
