On Independence Day, Levon Ter-Petrossian, the leader of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) and the first president, said about President Serzh Sargsyan’s consultation that Serzh Sargsyan had mocked the people.
Zaruhi Postanjyan, a Heritage Party MP, responded to Levon Ter-Petrossian’s observation during a conversation with www.aravot.am, “I am very sorry, but Levon Ter-Petrossian mocked the people in the first place. In 1995, the Constitution, which wasn’t able to play its
role, which it should have done, was imposed on us illegally, without a referendum. No checks and balances were created. The author of today’s institution of president, the concentration of executive power in the hands of one person, basically the author of gang rule is he himself. He mocked in the first place and Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan are his students.”

In response to our question whether she meant that he had no moral right to say that Serzh Sargsyan mocked, Ms. Postanjyan said, “He would have had a moral right, if he had left his house on March 1 and been with the people. He should have been the first victim.”
As for Serzh Sargsyan’s consultation and its results, dismissals, Zaruhi Postanjyan stated, “Should the President make a speech and say that there are abuses to get a response? It is clear for everyone that there are abuses. Law-enforcement bodies must give an adequate response in time, the courts must respond. Whereas every one of you saw hundreds of counselors of the Supreme Court go on strike protesting against the court, which testifies to the fact that the Supreme Court, which should play its role, doesn’t do that. So there is no legal system.”
