SHAVARSH KOCHARIAN: “A REAL PRO-WESTERN IS THE ONE WHO SUPPORTS
EUROPEAN VALUES”
YEREVAN, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Urgent discussion concerning the
Armenian cause is possible at the session of the PACE to be held in
April. Shavarsh Kocharian, a member of the “Ardarutiun” (Justice)
faction stated about it in his speech at the April 13 forum,
mentioning that process of constitutional reforms in Armenia will be
discussed. This is, according to MP, the reason of the latest
statements of the authorities of Armenia about accepting proposals of
the Venice Committee and bringing the Constitution in correspondence
with those proposals. According to Shavarsh Kocharian, after the
“colored” revolutions conducted in different countries only 2 leaders
of the 46 member-countries of the Council of Europe made statements
that their authorities are strong and that’s why a revolution is
impossible in their countries. They were the Presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan, which made similar statements on the same day. “I do not
know what will be in Azerbaijan but end of the power in Armenia is
inevitable,” the MP assured. According to him, the authorities hinder
solution of the most important problems of the country. Particularly
bringing the legislation of the country in correspondence with
European standards is among them. According to Shavarsh Kocharian,
being pro-western is not the readiness of concessions in the Karabakh
issue or sending an army to Iraq: “A real pro-western is the one who
supports European values, and our nation does support.”
