PRIME MINISTER THINKS IT IS USELESS TO TALK OF THOSE YEARS
In a briefing on November 30 the reporters asked Prime Minister Serge
Sargsyan to comment on Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s pronouncement that he
had been expulsed from Karabakh in 1993.
`What shall I comment on? It is a barefaced lie. There is nothing to
comment. I think any reporter who is interested in this topic can
make sure what documents the chair of the committee of defense of
Karabakh signed in May, how many he signed, and Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s
decree on the appointment of defense minister. Once you find out the
difference, you will see there is nothing to comment on. Generally, I
would not like anyone to go back to those years. It is useless,’
Serge Sargsyan says. He answered similarly to another question on
Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s pronouncement on war expenses.
The first president had stated during the rally on November 16 that
the money spent to supply the war would be enough to light and heat
Armenia and Karabakh. Levon Ter-Petrosyan had advised to ask Serge
Sargsyan in case an opportunity arises because he knows this. `You
see, I don’t want to criticize or to praise anyone. I really don’t
want to talk of those years,’ Serge Sargsyan said.
