Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian National Assembly speaker Hovik Abrahamian
said today that former Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
"did not deserve the right to give advice to the Armenian President."
Hovik Abrahamian said this commenting upon Mediamax's request on
the recent statement by Vardan Oskanian who said that Serzh Sargsian
should visit "Heritage" Party leader Raffi Hovhannisyan and urge him
to end his hunger strike.
At the same time, the speaker did not rule out that he himself will
visit Raffi Hovhannisyan.
"Using the chance I would like to urge upon the "Heritage" faction to
return to the parliament and use the rostrum of the National Assembly
to voice their position," Hovik Abrahamian said.
Deputies of "Prosperous Armenia" and "Dashnaktsutyun" factions, Naira
Zurabian and Vahan Hovanisian refused to comment on Vardan Oskanian's
statement, noting that "this is a statement by one person addressed
to another, and it needs no comments."
