“Kocharyan is among those who envy”

Politics


There are some domestic and foreign forces that envy the dialogue between the ANC and the authorities, said ANC member, former Minister of Internal Affairs Suren Abrahamyan and Republican MP Artak Davtyan during a press conference held in a warm atmosphere at "Hayeli" Press Club today.

The speakers avoided mentioning the names of those forces and simply called them "evil forces". In response to a journalist's question on whether Robert Kocharyan was among those who envied, Suren Abrahamyan shortly said "yes".

Interestingly, when presenting the foreign forces against the dialogue, the Republican MP made a reference to Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech in which Ter-Petrosyan had mentioned Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu.

The speakers also touched upon the agenda of the dialogue between the ANC and the authorities.

"We say that snap presidential and parliamentary elections are a must because we believe that is the only way of solving the issues facing the country. Perhaps the authorities have another option for solving the issues at hand. It is difficult. There will be complaints and some will boycott the elections. It is difficult to sit face-to-face," said Suren Abrahamyan.

According to Artak Davtyan, all issues concerning the society and those that the government needs to discuss will be discussed.

"Generally, we have always shook hands. Another thing is that If an issue is on the agenda, this doesn't mean that that issue or 10 other issues will be definitely approved and solved," said Davtyan.

Suren Abrahamyan ascribed the overt change of moods to the authorities, not the opposition. According to him, the government simply had to listen to the opposition, but the ANC hasn't changed its opinion of the authorities.

Artak Davtyan didn't rule out anything in regard to which party the Republicans will join during the upcoming parliamentary elections and said there was still a lot of time.

"The sooner they take the burden of "Country of Law" off their shoulders, glory and honor to them," said Suren Abrahamyan.
