Tert.am
09.02.12
Aram Sargsyan, Political Council Chairman, Republic party, which
formed part of the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC),
gave an interview to Tert.am.
With respect to problems within Armenia's political forces, he said
that the forces' leaders finally assume the responsibility for the
problems.
According to him, Armenia's first president must shoulder the burden
of subjective decision. He must reap the positive results of this
decision, along laurels, problems and complaints. Such is politics,
Aram Sargsyan says.
Below is an excerpt from the interview:
Question: Mr Sargsyan, the Armenian National Congress (ANC) is reported
to be unable to agree on a ticket. Has any consensus been achieved?
Answer: The consensus is as follows: with respect to single-member
constituencies, a 'bank of individuals' has been formed. I can say
that the lists of candidates submitted by the ANC member-parties are
happy ones. The lists include individuals popular with the public. The
ANC member-parties reached an agreement...
A final decision is to be agreed on with the ANC leader, and I am sure
that hardly any problems will arise. I am sure that it will be done
after the ticket has been approved, irrespective of the principles
the list is compiled.
Question: A number of high-ranking officials have lately visited
your family, which caused heated discussions. Nothing strange about
Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan's visit, which. Cannot be said of
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's visit. The press branded the visits
PR. Your comments, please.
Answer: I would like the people opening the door of Vazgen Sargsyan's
house to open it with Vazgen's heart. I would like to believe they
come to our home without any hidden agenda, that they come to Vazgen's
home to see his parents, not to exchange their political views with
me. My presence makes it easier for them to come to our home.
