The opposition plays into the hands of Armenia’s enemies when offering
to bring ex-President Robert Kocharyan to justice of Hague tribunal,
representative of ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s Supreme Body Armen Rustamyan
said today. ‘One should not forget that our Azerbaijani neighbours will
approve this step of our oppositionist without fail’, A. Rustamyan
said. He thinks that such actions are inadmissible as they discredit
Armenia before the external world.

‘Have we forgotten that after March 1-2 events in Yerevan, the
Azerbaijani Army, availing of the internal instability in Armenia,
attacked the Karabakh Army’s positions, having taken part of our
territory under control for the first time? This should not recur’,
A. Rustamyan resumed.

On July 14, representative of the ‘National Movement’ Center,
supporting ex-President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, David
Shahnazaryan said that the Armenian opposition collects signatures for
commencement of action to Hague tribunal against the second President
of Armenia Robert Kocharyan.

This step of the opposition was caused by the recent interview of R.

Kocharyan which, in the opposition’s opinion, indicates that
R. Kocyharyan made a decision on the law machinery actions during
March 1 events personally.
