MP from the Republican party of Armenia characterized the opposition’s
proposal to judge RA ex-President Robert Kocharyan in Hague as absurd,
members of RPA parliamentary faction Armen Ashotyan told journalists
today.

, he said. The MP added that Armenia has actually signed the
afore-indicated document, however, it has not been yet ratified by
the republic’s parliament.

‘On the other hand, this proposal is ideal from the viewpoint of
harming the republic, as Azerbaijan will not fail to make use of it,
and the opposition well understands it’, he said. The MP thinks that
official Baku has been trying to draw parallels among the ethnic
cleansings in Kosovo and Nagorno Karabakh conflict long ago.

On July 14, representative of the All-National Movement Center
supporting RA ex- President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, David Shahnazaryan
said that the Armenian opposition gathers signatures to file a claim
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 saying, as the opposition thinks, that he
personally made a decision on the law machinery actions during March
1 events.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
