ArmInfo.Amid the global geopolitical turmoil, replacing Armenia's authorities with a provisional government of some sort would be the greatest act of folly to be committed, and Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan are perfectly aware of that, Aram Sargsyan, Chairman of the Republic party, said in an interview with ArmInfo.
"These people have passed a long way and been tested by power. They are experienced in carrying the burden of state rule. After all, they contributed to Armenia making a state. So they should be perfectly aware that, amid the current turmoil in international relations, with rules of the game in global politics being changed and specified – by means of wars – changing power in Armenia is not at all rational even in the interests of this same nationhood," Mr Sargsyan said.
In this context, the politician welcomes all the calls for unanimity inside Armenia, including first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan's proposal Nikol Pashinyan, Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan to meet and discuss the rather disturbing situation in Armenia and in Artsakh.
Mr Sargsyan is surprised at what has caused Ter-Petrosyan himself to refuse to get involved in this political discourse, whereas, in the interest of this very unity, he, as senior and founder of the Third Republic, should introduce the initiative.
"I think, regardless of the different political approaches and 'camp' affiliation, the current geopolitical situation is making it necessary for all the four Armenian leaders to meet and talk. And I do not at all think that Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan will not be able to calm down their 'street' supporters in case those show their discontent. It is they that are orchestrating the protests, with all the rest being just performers," Mr Sargsyan said.
