Zaruhi Postnajyan: Serzh Sargsyan has put everything on sale (video)
Opposition lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan today presented at the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs a bill demanding Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation. Mr Pashinyan referred to the recent standoff between the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and Republican Armenia Party (HHK) and the following reconciliation. Then he spoke about the activity of the Fact-Finding Committee investigating the March 1, 2008 clashes which was later disbanded by Serzh Sargsyan. “The decision was also illegal. Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocahryan used the preliminary investigation to prosecute their political opponents and retain their usurped power,” he said adding that in the document he enumerates several cases when Serzh Sargsyan continually tried to maintain his illegitimate power. Zaruhi Postanjyan, a lawmaker representation the opposition Heritage faction, thanked Nikol Pashinyan for his ‘rapid response to recent political events’ and said, “The Madrid Principles signed by Serzh Sargsyan was the first document that removed the NKR from the talks on the Karabakh conflict after the 1994 ceasefire. ” “This was apparently high treason jeopardizing the security of Armenia. The territories belonging to Armenians were to be ceded to our enemy under the agreement. Two years later, in an interview with an international media, Serzh Sargsyan says Armenia did not populate these areas deliberately as the territories will be ceded to Azerbaijan, with the exception of the strategic Lachin corridor. We understand fully that agreement undermines our national security,” she said. Zaruhi Postanjyan further stressed that Serzh Sargsyan has put everything on sale, even the country’s sovereignty after declaring Armenia’s intention to join the Eurasian Economic Union. “Today, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is put up for sale. This is treason and the issue was to have been included in your bill as well. Today Azerbaijan is conducting negotiations to join the EEU and Karabakh is in the epicenter of this trade,” she said.
