“The continuation of such actions from the Armenian side may put the agreement signed in the framework of the “Millennium Challenge” into peril,” cited Alexander Arzoumanyan, ex Foreign Minister in his addressing speech from the “Millennium Challenge” organization letter addressed to President Kocharyan in club “Pastark”.

In Arzoumanyan’s opinion the letter is a slap in RA President’s face, “It testifies to the inaction of our authorities.” In his words OSCE Minsk group American Co-Chair Mettew Bryza’s announcement is the continuation of the slap. “Today the authorities of the two Armenian countries are busy with the reproduction of their power, and the Kharabakh issue has become a stake in this context.”

As for Mettew Bryza’s announcement Mr. Arzoumanyan finds it an attempt to arouse a discord among the public on the Kharabakh matter. Such an attempt was done by Levon Ter-Petrosyan which led to power change.

In order to understand the American Co-Chair’s announcement and interview more clearly Arzoumanyan advised to observe it from the point of view of the Armenian interior policy. “It is simply put down that the RA President may visit Washington if he carries out the democratic reforms which have already been carried out by Ilham Aliyev.” This means that like Aliyev Kocharian is to arrest 16 – 17 people among his acquaintances and start corruption combat the father of embodiment of which is Kocharian himself. I don’t think Azerbaijan is a democratic country and we must be compared with them. My concern is that they speak to the Armenian President in that way and in that language, “Go and stand on the same equal level with Aliyev to be accepted in Washington.”

“ROBERT KOCHARIAN DOESN’T WANT TO PASS HIS POWER TO SERGE SARGSYAN”

“You, journalists, have your share of blame in the current situation of Armenia. Every day our authorities are accused and threatened whereas you support them and present them as almighty people,” Alexander Arzoumanyan, ex Foreign Minister told the journalists today during the press release.

In Arzoumayan’s opinion the inaction and irresponsibility of the authorities is conditioned by the passiveness of the Opposition but he also added, “There are people in the Opposition who claim that there is chaos in the country all day long and they are ready to give their votes to other people even to Serge Sargsyan instead of Kocharian. That is what our authorities want.”

Arzoumanyan noted that Robert Kocharian in not inclined to pass his power to Serge Sargsyan. “Kocharian’s steps testify to the reverse outcome. Look at the activity of “Prosperous Armenia” Party and the barriers put in front of oligarchs and officials who try to become members of that party. This is a special grouping.”
