Vahan Hovhannisyan welcomes Kocharyan’s visit to France

17:36 / 03/13/2010ARF Dashnaksutyun member Vahan Hovhannisyan welcomed
visit of second Armenian President Robert Kocharyan to France and his
meeting with former president Jacques Chirac.

`What’s wrong with that? No-one is surprised when former U.S.
President Bill Clinton exhibits activity, but when same does former
Armenian president, gossips start to go around,’ the politician
reckons.

Asked about political inactivity of the first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosyan until recently unlike Kocharyan, Hovhannisyan replied:
`He was laissez-faire, as was ashamed of his deeds, he waited for 10
years to have the change of generation so that everyone forgets all he
did during his presidency.’

In response to the question whether Kocharyan has nothing to feel
ashamed of, Hovhannisyan said: `Leastwise, not to that extent.’

Interestingly, Robert Kocharyan’s visit to France coincided with days
of RA President Serzh Sargsyan’s official visit to the country.
