ARAM KARAPETYAN ANSWERS SERGE SARGSYAN

Lragir, Armenia

In answer to Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan’s hints in his interviews
addressed to me I state that recently Mr. Sargsyan breaks down rather
often. Every time he answers an important question, he either calls
people wretched or says that criticizing him makes some people feel
more important. I should mention at once that unlike Mr. Sargsyan,
who became minister of defense by chance, with only philological
education, I became established in the sphere of science getting my
first academic title at the age of 26.

It is evident that though Mr. Sargsyan and I function in the Russian
geopolitical sphere, he has lost in this sphere by his short-sighted
and illogical moves, which is the cause of Serge Sargsyan’s nervous
breakdown.

Although we beieve that the minister of defense is real danger for
the society of our country, we agree that the reality has changed,
or as Mr. Sargsyan says, "it is not like 5, 7 or 10 years ago",
and we will not hit a minister or another government official on the
head for expressing opinion. After the imminent change of power we
will quiely and in a civilized way lead the present government to
the nearest court of law.
