ArmInfo. ‘Frankly speaking, it is not so important for me how the
world community will perceive the incidents of March 1 in Yerevan’
, Vice Chairman of Armenian Parliamentary Commission for Foreign
Affairs Vazgen Karakhanyan told ArmInfo. Nevertheless, he stressed
that one should not rule out the significance of the assessment of
domestic political processes in Armenia by the world community since
the Millennium Challenge Account Compact and the future activity of
Lincy Foundation are threatened. Various envoys arrive in Armenia
and demand discussing human rights and democracy protection in the
country at the negotiating table. ‘Indeed, they would like Armenia to
be a weak country headed by a weak president. However, I think that
the authorities of Armenia acted too softly when protecting national
values’, the parliamentarian said.
