The issue of maintaining friendly relations between the former
president of two friendly states (especially in the case of Armenia
and Russia), as well as information on their regular meetings, should
only become an opportunity for pride and optimism. But, it turned out
that here it is perceived in a different way, said Viktor Soghomonyan,
head of Robert Kocharian's office, in an exclusive interview with
Yerevan-based Mediamax news agency, commenting on the stir following
reported meetings between the second president of Armenia (Kocharian)
and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, as well as a Russian
government official's refutal of such meetings.
`Honestly, I got used to such reactions to Robert Kocharian's meetings
with the Russian Prime Minister long ago. Not even the fabricated
report surprised me, though there was a serious reason to be surprised
as on May 24, I personally accompanied President Kocharian to
Novo-Ogarevo and was present at the beginning and the end of that
meeting,' said Soghomonyan.
`I believe that the authors of these propaganda tricks and unfounded
reports should try to come down from their `own belfry' and view
events from the perspective of national interests and not selfish
considerations and intrigues. I'm sure that then they wouldn't be
forced to spread public hysteria and spend excessive money for
articles made to order,' he added.
