The second president of the Republic of Armenia, Robert Kocharian,
has responded to first RA president Levon Ter-Petrossian's statements,
reports Armenian news agency Mediamax.
"Ter-Petrossian's arrogance and conceit leave a bad impression. I
assume that those present exerted much effort trying not to fall
asleep during his address.
"The accusations made against me are so absurd that it doesn't make
sense to take a stand against them, because of the latter's absence.
Stupidity is only worthy of contempt. Though in all of Ter-Petrossian's
speeches, his constant mentioning me reminds me of a situation in
Africa a few months ago in which I was an eye-witness.
"Sitting around a bonfire, hunters were sharing various hunting stories
about Africa's large animals. They were speaking about the strength,
deftness, and danger of lions, panthers, buffalo, and elephants. One
of those present, a European, after each story, sighed and said that
the most dangerous and strongest animal is the bear.
"When he repeated that for the third time, I became interested and
asked why bears have left such a big impression on him. It turns out
that 5 years ago, a bear had attacked him while he was hunting. Most
probabaly I, in some way, inspire Ter-Petrossian, and it is for that
reason that he remembers me so frequently," noted Kocharian.
