ROBERT KOCHARIAN’S RETURN WILL CAUSE DAMAGES: ANAHIT BAKHSHYAN

Heritage Party faction member Anahit Bakhshyan thinks that the return
of Armenia’s second president, Robert Kocharian, to power will be a
slap on the face for Armenia and will undermine the country’s ability
to address foreign and domestic challenges.

In an April 6 parliamentary session, Bakhshyan said that instead of
taking steps towards national consolidation, those who, just two years
ago, considered news about Kocharian’s return to politics as unfounded,
are now substantiating and justifying it.

According to Bakhshyan, during Kocharian’s 10 years in office, the
autocratic pyramid of power, yet not fully developed, was finally
established in Armenia.

In her words, Kocharian is the very official who had nothing in common
with the democracy defined by the RA Constitution, with the rule of
law, with justice.

According Bakhshyan, the Republic’s second president is the very
person who amassed immense wealth at the expense of the state and
whose name was inseparably connected with the October 27 and March
1 events in Armenia’s history.

"It is unobjectionable that Robert Kocharian’s return to any
state position can cause large damages to huge foreign and domestic
challenges towards the fragile possibility of national consolidation
that still exists," said Bakhshyan.
