"Today we are participating in a glamorous ceremony honoring Karen
Demirchyan, one of the outstanding figures of post-soviet Armenia,"
RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan announced at the inauguration of
the museum after Karen Demirchyan.
Rima Demirchyan, the director of the museum, was very excited,
"I am convinced that Karen’s life wasn’t aimless, people assessed
his work and devotion to the country," says Ms. Demirchyan.
"I am grateful to all RA high-level officials, namely to President
Robert Kocharyan, Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan, the Town Hall and the
Ministry of Culture as they had their great share in the inauguration."
Further on, Rima Demirchyan thanked the Armenian people and the
co-workers of the museum.
It is noteworthy that a number of RA high-ranking officials attended
the ceremony, among them RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan, and a number
of acting and former ministers.
To the question of Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty whether the
Republicans may cooperate with the People’s Party, Mr. Sargsyan
replied, "I don’t exclude such possibility before the elections."
In answer to A1+’s question whether Tigran Torosyan feels comfortable
in the office of an oppositional force, the NA Speaker said, "We
are on good terms with the oppositional forces. They are neither our
enemies nor our opponents."
