Armen Martirosyan, member of “Heritage” party, believes that the position of the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, regarding the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan-second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan debate was a message to Robert Kocharyan. Recall that today, in response to the question of “Aravot” of how the President of Armenia views the debate, the President’s Speaker, Arman Saghatelyan, responded that the government responded the second President of Armenia in an appropriate, balanced and with respect. “Serzh Sargsyan took the role of a defender for the Prime Minister and all members of the Cabinet. Saying that he is in favor of relaxed, balanced, and non-emotional discussion, talks about the fact that probably he did not see Robert Kocharyan’s discussion within the emotional background. Because the second president made expressions that were definitely not within non-emotional and unbalanced background. At the same time speaking that he considers end in itself debate about phenomena left in the past and clung from the past ineffective, Serzh Sargsyan forgets that is was a debate on economic issues, which is also connected to the current period and cannot be an end in itself. One is the base of the other, the continuation. They are co-related issues and can not be separated from one another. The President’s position was a message to Robert Kocharyan that he is with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet,” said Mr. Martirosyan. “The government, in recent times, has truly become more open and active on this issue, and there is confidence that it will continue, because it is the right way,” Mr. Martirosyan considers this view of the President of Armenia from the scope of imagination. “Armenia’s three hundred million dollars in debt, the price increase in gas is the guarantee of the most transparent work of the government.” Mr. Martirosyan does not relate Serzh Sargsyan’s position of protecting the government with possible tension between Robert Kocharyan-Serzh Sargsyan relations. “I do not think there can be a tension, if any, it it easy to solve. I do not think that they can fight against each other; the pyramids under them have to fight against each other, since there is a problem with allocation of resources, anyway, in any case, they can sit at a table and find solutions, they cannot counteract against each other.” To our question whether the Prime Minister-Robert Kocharyan conflict is also artificial, he said, “Such correspondence is only a certain loss for the citizens and is aimed at diverting the attention of the citizens from real problems. The correspondence between these two did not produce anything… If Robert Kocharyan really struggles against Serzh Sargsyan or the authorities, given his human and financial resources, the fight would have been completely on a different dimension and otherwise.”
