VAZGEN MANUKYAN SPEAKING AT NEWS CONFERENCE
But it doesn’t mean the current president will remain in office, he said. At
the same time, he said he didn’t think “a bad president will be replaced
with a good one”.
He is stuck to the idea that an interim president is needed. The interim
leadership should include both pro-governmental and opposition-leaning
forces.
Substantial changes should be made in the Constitution, Manukyan said.
Asked doesn’t he fear Kocharyan can stir up war in Karabakh to retain power,
the Democratic Union leader answered: “I’m far from the idea of calling our
authorities traitors”.
Answering the question journalists put to him about possible oppression of
opposition activists, Manukyan said oppression has always been and will be.
