Khosrov Harutyunyan: We are in the same boat (video)
Republican lawmaker Khosrov Harutyunyan says national security threats are emerging in Armenia in the face of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK). “What are we supposed to do now? Shall we start flattering each other?” Harutyunyan told a press conference on Monday. Speaking about the recent conflict between the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) and BHK, the MP said his party is ‘taking preventive measures’ so that Armenia would not turn into a Maidan. “Do you compare Armenia with Belgium and Luxembourg which do not have problems? A regime change is possible only in cases of deep shocks,” said Mr Harutyunyan. He does not exclude interpersonal conflicts inside the BHK. “But we are in the same boat now,” he said. Asked whether he asked the president to ‘have mercy on’ the BHK leader after his speech on Feb. 12, Mr Harutyunyan did not refute the information though, he says, he used other words.
