`I Think It Was a Slip of the Tongue,' Larisa Alaverdyan Says About
Hakhverdyan's Speech
March 1 2013
Larisa Alaverdyan, a former member of the Heritage Party parliamentary
group, resented yesterday's speech of singer and musician Ruben
Hakhverdyan in Freedom Square, according to which Artsakh was a remote
Azeri region. `Yesterday a phrase was said that offended me very much.
I am very annoyed. I was told that he had used a phrase that was more
appropriate for, say, an economist. I am his fan and will be. I think
that it was a slip of the tongue. I don't want to think that it was a
slip of the mind...; each of us shouldn't interfere in every field of
activity,' Ms. Alaverdyan told www.aravot.am. She doesn't fear that
people in Azerbaijan will make use of Mr. Hakhverdyan's `slip of the
tongue,' but rather that people inside Armenia will do that. `I will
not talk about how it will be perceived in Azerbaijan anymore. I think
that Azerbaijan has fallen to the lowest level of civilization because
of its political elite. Our task will be to help the Azeri people
overcome that degradation.' Arpine SIMONYAN
