ARE THERE NATIONAL TRAITORS IN ARMENIA?
[02:09 pm] 10 October, 2008
Will the Armenian leadership regulate the Karabakh conflict to the
detriment of Armenia? In reply to A1+'s question, Zharangutiun
(Heritage) Party Secretary Stepan Safarian said: `I see no national
traitors in Armenia. I can only blame the authorities for illiterate
and unjustified steps. And if the steps are directed against Armenia I
think we should be blamed for their consequences.'
Stepan Safarian thinks the Karabakh issue is in a stagnant rather than
in a critical state.
With regard to the PACE assessment to Armenia's political domain
Stepan Safarian said, `The PACE will surely give a rough
assessment. Even if Serzh Sargsyan grants amnesty to the prisoners the
PACE will not change its opinion. Besides, let me remind you that many
political prisoners said they need no amnesty as they plead not guilty
of any crime.'
Generally, the Zharangutiun Secretary is discontent with the activity
of the NA ad hoc Committee looking into the March 1 events. `Levon
Ter-Petrossian accuses Kocharian of the March 1 unrest and says
Kocharian gave the order to fire at people. In his turn, Kocharian
blames Ter-Petrossian for his calls for mass disorder and attempts of
power overthrow. Neither Kocharian nor Ter-Petrossian has been invited
to an examination,' he added.
