Lragir, Armenia
Nov 1 2007
President Robert Kocharyan commented on Levon Ter-Petrosyan accusations
against the government during the rally on October 26. He said during
the office of his predecessor the industry had collapsed.
Today we can say they inherited a normal country, they passed on me
in 1998 a country with a collapsed economy, Kocharyan told reporters.
According to him, people remember the quality of life then, adding
that now the budget of Armenia is more than the GDP in those years.
Kocharyan also said Ter-Petrosyan returned to politics with a feeling
of grudge, saying that the same feeling had destroyed the All-Armenian
Movement then.
