During the last few days, the most discussed topics are the statements
of the Armenian former foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan on the change
of power and of the Armenian former president Robert Kocharyan on
the economic policy.

The Republican deputy Gagik Minasyan and Sukias Avetisyan evaded
commenting the possibilities for Robert Kocharyan’s return noting
that they would not like to make predictions.

According to Gagik Minasyan, the acting Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan
works very well and his anti-crisis program successes.

Sukias Avetisyan says the former president is well-aware of the
situation and can give assessments. Nevertheless, he did not rule
out Kocharyan’s return noting that such an attempt may be useful for
the country.

According to the ARF member Artyusha Shahbazyan, the Armenian economy
registered progress and developed despite its mistakes, examples
of which are the crystallization of the oligarchic system and the
strengthening of the shadow economy.

Shahbazyan thinks that Kocharyan’s actions contain some signs of
return. The example of which is his visits to Iran and France. He
thinks these are steps coordinated with Serge Sargsyan.

The Republican deputy Sukias Avetisyan nevertheless assessed the
statement by Vardan Oskanyan. According to him, Oskanyan is envious
because during his tenure the foreign political front was not so
active.

Artyusha Shahbazyan agreed with Vardan Oskanyan on the opinion that
is the power is not able to solve the problems of the country, it
will have to resign. "Though we do not have this opinion today",
added Shahbazyan securing himself.
