German Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt has said on Tuesday in
a discussion on 20 years of independence in Armenia and in the region
that both Armenian former presidents should hold responsibility for
the situation in the country, "including the negative steps."
In this context the German Ambassador was asked if it's accurate when
the former authorities condemn the ruling government.
Mr. Schmidt has said he's attending the ANC demonstrations in the
Liberty Square, but at the same time he avoids interfering the ongoing
discussions. "In a meeting with one of the advisors of the first
president I asked if in 94-97 elections were not forged, he said that
I knew nothing about them. Of course, I think it's unfair. But they
cannot admit their own mistakes."
"Nobody likes the words oligopoly or oligarchy but those phenomena
appeared during the former governments," concluded the German diplomat.
