Republican Party of Armenia MP Gagik Minasyan didn't read second
president of Armenia, Robert Kocharian's statement yesterday in an
interview with local news agency Mediamax, and thus, he was unable
to comment.
"Unfortunately, I haven't become familiar with it yet," said Minasyan
at a press conference today, noting that in order to make a comment,
he'll have to read the statement first.
Yesterday, Kocharian had criticized the state of the country's economy,
saying that the current government was ill-equipped to withstand the
global financial crisis.
Former foreign minister of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (NKR)
Arman Melikyan, in turn, noted that Armenia's economy is really quite
poor, irrespective of who's speaking about it.
"This shouldn't turned into a cat-and-mouse game in domestic policy,"
he said, adding that it's not that the situation has gotten worse in
the past two years, but that it's been going on for a number of years.
"The deterioration is connected with the existence of a flawed
governing system, which currently exists in Armenia," he said.
According to Melikyan, Kocharian has acted in an official capacity
for 10 years and he has the right to express his opinion, as well as
the right to bear responsibility for what has happened.
