“Debate in politics is an acceptable option for the RPA, however, but the interview of the second president was spiced with unacceptable and in some cases offensive expressions. And passing to the offensive tone talks about the lack of evidence”,- Eduard Sharmazanov, RPA Spokesman, Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly, referring at the request of Aravot.am to Armenia’s ex-President Robert Kocharian’s public speeches. Recall that during the four- hour press conference at the end of the year, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, referring to the current state of the economy in Armenia, in fact, addressed accusations to the previous government. This was followed by Robert Kocharyan’s criticism. Tigran Sargsyan came up with additional clarifications mitigating his statements said in the press conference by laying the problems on the global financial-economic crisis. This was also followed by Robert Kocharyan’s reaction-qualification of “he is hopeless” conclusion.
As said by Edward Sharmazanov, the composition of tools of offence is political debate does not say well of any politician, especially the retired president. In particular, Eduard Sharmazanov does not see moves to the future in Kocharyan’s analysis. “They are analyses of a political figure remained in the part.” “The Republican Party has determined in its programs. The Armenian-Russian gas agreements have repeatedly been talked about both inside and outside the parliament. Unlike many political figures, we are taking measures that meet the interests of our citizens,” concluded Sharmazanov referring to the gas agreement signed between Armenia and Russia.
