Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) MP Vardan Bostanjyan agreed with Levon Ter-Petrossian during a conversation with www.aravot.am today on the fact that Vartan Oskanian is widely reputed in the international diplomatic circles and the PAP that longs for creating an image of a solid party needed that reputation. Vartan Oskanian, on the other hand, needed the support of the PAP. So, both parties benefited from it.
However, Mr. Bostanjyan didn’t wish to comment particularly on the part of Levon Ter-Petrossian’s speech, which was related to seeing Robert Kocharyan’s ears behind the deal. According to Levon Ter-Petrossian, some people see Robert Kocharyan’s ears behind both this political deal and generally any development related to the PAP. They deny Oskanian’s and Tsarukyan’s ability to make their own decisions by that, they attribute the role of puppet to them. In Vardan Bostanjyan’s words, “I don’t want to comment, because I generally don’t comment on different kinds of speculations, in particular, dull and miserable comments or rumors.”
Nikol Pashinyan made public the list of those who are responsible for March 1 yesterday – according to him, they must stand trial and be punished. Robert Kocharyan, Serzh Sargsyan, Hovik Abrahamyan, Hayk Harutyunyan, Gorik Hakobyan, Vova Gasparyan, Mikayel Harutyunyan, Seyran Ohanyan and others are included in the list. In response to our question whether he had any reservations in regard to that list, Vardan Bostanjyan said, “Ask Nikol Pashinyan about that, because he directly participated in that and perhaps he is a very knowledgeable person. What would I know? I myself neither participated in March 1, nor know anything, nor else have gone into it.”
