Petros Makeyan: It was Serzh sargsyan who forced Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan to resign (video)
Chairman of the Democratic Fatherland Party Petros Makeyan says it was Serzh sargsyan who forced Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan to resign. “A political figure with a sense of self-respect would have submitted a resignation after the notorious offshore scandal but Sargsyan did not do it. Why should he decide to resign now?” said Mr Makeyan. He does not ascribe the resignation to the four non-coalition forces, either. “It is the president who decides everything in Armenia,” he stressed adding that the country lacks a real opposition and the four forces obey the acting authorities. “If they did not obey the authorities, they would demand Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation,” he added. Though Makeyan is not interested in the personality of the next prime minister, he rules out the candidacy of Robert Kocahryan. “If Kocharyan became prime minister, it would mean that Serzh Sargsyan works for Kocahryan as a president and has to divide the power between the two of them. But Serzh Sargsyan needs a puppet premier who will do whatever he is told to do,” Mr Makeyan said adding that nothing will change after the appointment of the prime minister, because the oligarchic nature of the economy does not depend on the prime minister, but on Serzh Sargsyan.
