Sefilyan excludes Kocharyan’s return to power
"Kocahryan spares no effort to return to power," commander of the Shushi special battalion Jirayr Sefilian said when commenting on ex President Robert Kocahryan's visit to Shushi on the 18h anniversary of the Shushi liberation.
"Everyone knows that Kocharyan yearns for power. His visit to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and his recent steps testify to his craving. Kocharyan simply wants to "revive." But the question is whether he will manage to realize his cherished dream," said Jirayr Sefilian.
"I am sorry to disappoint both Kocharyan and his supporters as I am confident that superpowers do not long for Kocharyan's return. All geopolitical centers believe Kocharyan has a poor reputation among Armenians and is largely perceived as a criminal. On the other hand, I think that Kocahryan will not countervail Serzh Sargsyan as it will mean an end for him."
According to official sources, Kocharyan travelled to the NKR to waken the locals and make them, actively engaged in the Karabakh issue settlement.
"If Kocharyan really visited Karabakh for that purpose, no one would dare to air the visit on Public TV. Today Kocharyan is a wealthy oligarch and he knows how it feels being an oligarch in an authoritarian system. As long as the power is in the hands of Serzh Sargsyan, Kocharyan will be unable to act. I exclude Kocahryna's return as he is a criminal lunatic. He is simply searching for ways to "come to life."
Jirayr Sefilian has not visited Shushi for ten years.
"How can they celebrate an anniversary if our people are tormented? I do not participate in feasts during plagues," he said.
