ARAM SARGSSYAN JOINS RACE FOR PRESIDENCY

Politics

“When Vazgen was alive, I had nothing to do in political area and now I have to continue my brother’s work. Many blame me for once assuming the post of Prime Minister. But what could I do in the climate of suspicion created in the wake of that horrible crime? Whether I could remain idle after loosing my brother?”, “Republic” party leader Aram Sargssyan said at the party’s second extraordinary conference held Tuesday.

Speaking on his 3-year staying in office, he noted that was out-of-favour Prime Minister to the republic authorities, as it was hard to him to share the president view. “Defence Minister General-Lieutenant Vagharshak Harutyunyan and I both were sacked because we were opposed to Meghri version of Karabakhi conflict settlement”, Aram Sargssyan said.

In his opinion, Robert Kocharyan is responsible for the 27 October terrorist action. “He’s done nothing to prevent assassinations and now he makes every possible effort to hamper the October 27 case solution”, said Aram Sargssyan.

All opposition parties but “National Unity” have taken part in the event. It has been invited to the conference but found no time to participate in it.

Aram Sargssyan was announced as a candidate for upcoming presidential elections. But, as Aram’s fellow partisan Albert Bazeyan said, Sargssyan is ready to withdraw from the race in favour of more likely vote-getter.
