Stepan Safaryan: Serzh Sargsyan threw down the gauntlet to Robert Kocharyan
Serzh Sargsyan has declared war not only against [leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party -BHK] Gagik Tsarukyan, but also [former president] Robert Kocahryan, says Stepan Safaryan, Director of the Armenian Institute of International and Security Affairs. Talking to reporters on Wednesday, Mr Safaryan said the ex-president made ‘a weak statement typical of a powerless person.’ “Robert Kocharyan only scolded Serzh Sargsyan on behalf of the opposition and the statement made it clear that Kocharyan is deprived of his role. We witnessed an interesting phenomenon recently. On February 12, Serzh Sargsyan made it clear that the farce should be ended and declared one war,” Mr Safaryan adding that before February 12 the conflict between the BHK and the ruling Republican Party of Armenia was brokered by a third side, but this time the leaders of the parties became involved in the conflict which grew into a confrontation, with Serzh Sargsyan throwing down the gauntlet to Robert Kocharyan.
