    ROBERT KOCHARYAN HAS FULL MORAL RIGHT TO RETURN - PROSPEROUS ARMENIA PARTY CHAIRMAN

    Tert.am

    Gagik Tsarukyan, Chairman of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP),
    gave an interview to the www. zham. am website.

    Below are excerpts from the interview:

    - What do you think about the reasons for Vladimir Putin's return,
    and what impact may it have on Armenia?

    - It is not a surprise for the Russian Establishment because it was
    under Vladimir Putin that Russia overcame a severe crisis, put an
    end to the Chechen war and restored stability. As regards Armenia,
    I think Mr. Putin's return will be beneficial for Armenia with respect
    to both development of Armenian-Russian relations and Nagorno-Karabakh
    peace process.

    - Many people link Robert Kocharyan's return to big politics with
    Vladimir Putin's return. Armenia's second president did not rule out
    this possibility in his interview. What can you say?

    - I am surprised at the society that has marked the 20th anniversary of
    its independence and is drawing such unreasonable conclusions. I think
    it is time for us to feel independent. Otherwise, we'll not be able to
    build up full-fledged statehood. As to the second president's possible
    return to big politics, he has full moral and political right to it.

    - Will the Prosperous Party of Armenia run for Parliament with a
    straight ticket or a mixed one?

    - I have repeatedly said that the party will run for Parliament
    with a straight ticket. On the other hand, I stress once more that
    Armenia needs consolidation and unity at a much higher level than
    the present-day coalition. I am sure it is a realistic principle and
    I am going to follow it.

    - Which of the candidates is the PAP going to support in the
    presidential election?

    - We should not forget the parliamentary elections are to be held
    first. A few months ago, half in jest, I said, "We are going to talk
    about it at the next lesson." So this reply remains in force.
