Serzh Sargysan admits he was wrong to try to stay in power after 2 terms as president. In a statement, he said he was wrong to take up the post of prime minister after completing his term as president and was meeting the demands of the street movement. He said he didn’t want to use other options, an apparent reference to police action that left at least ten protesters dead ten years ago at the start of his first presidential term.
