Armenia's ex-president Robert Kocharyan has not the necessary social
support to return to politics, Haik Babukhanyan, Chairman of the
Constitutional Law Union party, member of the Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group, told journalists on Friday.
`I do not think he may return. He committed so many blunders during
his presidency that he will hardly return,' Babukhanyan said.
Among Kocharyan's blunders is that the `criminal and oligarchic system
formed under Levon Ter-Petrosyan developed under Robert Kocharyan.'
According to him, struggle against this system is obviously being
waged.
`We are seeing the tendency to put an end to this criminal and
oligarchic system. I think the recent parliamentary elections were the
first blow on it,' Babukhanyan said.
As to whether the October 27, 1999, terrorist act in Armenia's
parliament was among Robert Kocharyan's blunders, Babukhanyan said:
`It would not be right to impute that fault upon him. The wrong thing
was that the system was not prepared and special measures were not
taken that day.'
`Kocharyan's blunder was on October 28, when he showed weakness, was
retreating and even wanted to resign,' Babukhanyan said.
One more blunder was appointing Armenia's former military prosecutor,
Gagik Jhangiryan in charge of the investigation.
`Jhangiryan made a plaything out of the investigation. We saw that
all, and Jhangiryan must be held responsible for that,' Babukhanyan
said.
