Member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), Chairperson of Social
Democrat Hunchakian Party Lyudmila Sargsyan said that Armenia’s
second president Robert Kocharian is frightened by the possibility
of a political dialogue between incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan
and Armenian National Congress (ANC), as well as investigation of
the March 2008 tragic events.

“This is proved by the recent interview with Kocharian,” Sargsyan
told a press conference in Yerevan.

According to her, Kocharian is the key person responsible for the March
1, 2008, tragic events in Yerevan. Sargsyan said she doubts sincerity
of the incumbent President, who promised a deeper investigation. “Serzh
Sargsyan is also responsible,” she said.

In his recent interview with Mediamax news agency, Kocharian rejected
his fault for human losses in the March 2008 events, saying that all
the attempts to lay the blame for the losses on him are reasoned by
the fear of “the political factor of Kocharian.” He also stated that
he hails the dialogue between the authorities and opposition, if it
refers to establishment of civilized rules of political struggle and
rejection of its radicalization.

Kocharian also said he knows what exactly is taking place between the
authorities and opposition. “Thankfully, I do not participate in that
process,” he said.
