GARNIK ISAGULYAN ABOUT THE US STATE SECRETARY ASSISTANT. “NULAND PERHAPS COMES TO DISTRIBUTE PIES”
February 18 2015
“I do not know why Nuland is coming, perhaps, some people still need
pies and she will be distributing pies in the streets”, so commented
Chairman of “National Security” party Garnik Isagulyan, referring
to the question of Aravot.am of how he will estimate the US State
Secretary Assistant Victoria Nuland’s visit to Armenia.
Note that according to the press release issued by the US State
Department, Victoria Nuland will arrive in Armenia on February 18.
Here, she will meet with government officials, civil society
representatives and the youth representatives to discuss issues related
to Armenia-US political, economic and democratic ties. They will
address the issue of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Garnik Isagulyan
assured that if people in the United States hope that all of this in
Armenia may look like Maidan, then they are strongly mistaken, and
continued, No one will allow them to interfere in Armenia’s domestic
political processes. Perhaps, they want to create an impression,
but I think it would also be the biggest mistake by them.”
In response to our question of whether they are expecting unexpected
developments in normalization of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mr.
Isagulyan replied, “You should refer this question to the government
authorities of Armenia. They are the ones who lead the country to
destabilization, while we are doing everything for the situation not
to be destabilized.” To our question of whether Serzh Sargsyan’s
speech dated February 12 was preventive, or on the contrary, it
also contributed to destabilization of the situation, Mr. Isagulyan
replied, “It definitely destabilized. Isn’t it noticeable that the
situation is more destabilized? This means that now I am to decide
the standards, for example, your hair is black, you cannot practice
journalism. His speck was within this style and even worse. Who
decides these qualifications? What examination did they pass? Did
they pass tests? Eventually, no one should go beyond the limit.”
