Few year after the election, Ter-Petrosyan's closest "power minister" Vano Siradeghyan claimed in an interview that Ter-Petrosyan fell into a three-month depression and that he wanted Vazgen Sargsyan and Siradeghyan to resign.
Siradeghyan was born in the village of Koti in north-eastern Armenia (then part of the Soviet Union), near the Azerbaijani border in 1946.
