The MP of “Heritage” faction Zaruhi Postanjyan ensures that her question to the RA President raised yesterday at the PACE was presented by the wish of citizens of Armenia and the Diaspora.”Everybody was worried about this issue”,- said Ms. Postanjyan to Aravot.am.
To our observation that some of your like-minded friends and party members also responded bad to your question, she said, “There are different opinions, more pointed questions could be raised, but to whom. I do not accept Serzh Sargsyan as the President of Armenia, he had appeared here as a result of theft and robbery. What question should I ask this man? I have asked the question right in that context. And, those who say that if they were in my place, I would not have asked this question, this is the reason why I am here, and not them.”
To note that yesterday Anahit Bakhshyan had told that she would not ask such a question, and Isabella Abgaryan had told that more pointed question could be asked from the Council of Europe tribune. To our question whether you are aware of that NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan has expressed his intention about your withdraw from the PACE Armenian delegation, she said, “Hovik Abrahamyan is already repeated, such an attempt has been made many years ago by him, and he has got the answer. He will get the answer now, too. I am asking the right question in the right place at the right time, which had unwelcomed consequences for them.”
To our question as to what reaction was received after your question at the PACE, Ms. Postanjyan said, “The reactions are still ahead. The reaction should be as following. We must do everything in our country to isolate these authorities, thieves, and fraudsters from our country that their threat is not constituted to the citizens of Armenia, and Armenian citizen is not forced to leave.”

Referring to the Constitution of Armenia, Article 66, which was cited by the National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan at the NA and which served as a ground for withdrawal of Zaruhi Postanjyan from PACE delegation, Ms. Postanjyan said, “If Hovik Abrahamyan want to get into a legal dispute and make a statement in the legal context, we will speak with him in legal language. We can make a war on him in this context also. Let him not think that he can make success from a legal perspective.”
To the criticism directed at him that he could have made the same question in Armenia, but not from the Council of Europe tribune, Ms. Postanjyan said such a question should be asked to Serzh Sargsyan at the PACE. “What is different of the PACE from here, the tribunes are the same. We need to raise this question right in the PACE, because an organized crime occurred in Armenia with complicity of PACE high rank officials, stealing the votes from the Armenian people.
So, my questions was addressed to them that you have have entered into a deal and you were in trade with just an ordinary person, who has a reputation to visit casinos and play.” To our question whether you do not think that your question will be speculated in Azerbaijan and Turkey, she said. “I do not have a problem whether they will speculate in Azerbaijan or Turkey, or not. Because during three years, 15,000 Turks and Azeri did not come here to ask for asylum, but the citizens of Armenia. They have come here to lie down on the ground and ask for asylum. If someone tries to speculate, let him understand who our enemy is. Our enemy is among us and inside us. And, this animosity comes from inside us.”
