Post-election Armenia: Ex-opposition MP critical of EPP leader's congratulation

16:33 - 17.03.13
Anahit Bakhshyan of the opposition Heritage party says she is deeply
disappointed at the European People's Party leader's congratulatory
remark addressed to Armenia's re-elected president.
The former opposition MP thinks Wilfried Martens's message is yet
another proof that Armenia's `illegitimate government' is advantageous
to Europe and other countries around the world.
`The rebelling crowd has thus gone against both the authorities and
Europe, as well as the other powers,' she told Tert.am, adding that
Martens should have considered the appropriateness of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia's observer status in the EPP instead of
congratulating Serzh Sargsyan in what she described as a
highly-Republican style.
Bakhshyan noted that ahead of the parliamentary election in 2012, the
EPP called upon the Republican to isolate business from politics to
qualify for the observer member status.
Commenting on the circulating rumors that the current processes are
dictated by hidden foreign powers (i.e. - the United States), Bakshyan
asked why their names aren't being revealed if such allegation are
true.
`If they are wise enough to know who guides whom, why don't they
reveal [those forces]. They know there is no guidance; it's just vice
versa. The overwhelming part of the society is rebelling to recognize
their own country's interest. What's even more, this movement is
against foreign [powers]. If so many countries have congratulated
[Sargsyan], it means the illegitimate president is in their interests
as they will be dictate whatever they wish. But a president elected by
people is not to be dictated by any force,' she said.
