Armenia independent MP: I see ex-President Kocharyan as only person who is able to get country out of this situation

News.am, Armenia

YEREVAN. – With his personal qualities, features, past, connections, and in his essence, the only person I see who is able to get the country out of this situation is [ex-President] Robert Kocharyan. Independent MP Gevorg Petrosyan on Wednesday told this to reporters in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia (RA).

"I am not saying that the years of his rule were flawless, [that] all people were happy, no. But today we must rise above low values and give priority to high values. For me, as an RA citizen, the supreme value today is the interest of preserving Armenia, the Armenian nation," Petrosyan added.

Asked whether if Kocharyan announces that he will run in the forthcoming snap parliamentary elections, he will join him and also run for parliament, Gevorg Petrosyan responded: "I respect Mr. Kocharyan very much, but I am not the person who, if he [Kocharyan] announces that he is running in the elections, I will go and say, 'You know, I want to, too.' There are negotiations, there are issue to clear, there are points to agree on. Today I see him [Kocharyan], but my unilateral wish is not enough; naturally, his side must have that wish as well. Maybe I am an unwanted person for them. There will be meetings, negotiations, and it will be much more definite in about two months."

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
