The authorities have been involved in imitation for five years now,
says Armenia's ex-foreign minister, a member of the Prosperous Armenia
Party (BHK)Vartan Oskanian.
"It seems that people in high echelons of power began to realize that
things cannot continue in this way," he said.
Asked why he did not criticize the authorities when holding a
high-ranking position in government, Mr Oskanian said, "When I was the
country's foreign minister, I was in no way related to the sectors I
am criticizing today."
Besides, the ex-FM says he realized that he had to leave the
government to be able to openly criticize the authorities.
The reason for my leaving the government is that I was discontent with
the situation. Do not think that the authorities longed for my
resignation, rather, they not only offered me a post, but also
entreated me to stay," said Mr Oskanian.
The former official says he will openly criticize the authorities as
long as Armenia sees real reforms.
