Hovik Aghazaryan, an MP of the majority My Step faction in the National Assembly of Armenia, has called First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan "impudent."
"How impudent a person must be that by rigging the 1995 parliamentary and 1996 presidential elections, to run away—like the most cowardly—from accountability in 1998 from a small ‘thing,’ to announce—just three months before the 2013 presidential elections—that he is already 68 years old, and, in general, to have the greatest share of accountability in all the negative realities registered in the country, and when manifestations aimed at political stability are observed, to make such a cynical proposal.
PS. I am talking about Levon Ter-Petrosyan and his latest thoughts ‘aimed at overcoming’ the political crisis [in Armenia],'" Aghazaryan wrote on Facebook.
First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan issued a statement Monday, noting that the only way out of the current crisis in Armenia was the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan and his seeking asylum abroad, and with guarantees for his immunity.
