ARMENIAN PRESIDENT LACKS SKILLED TEAM - FORMER MP
15:34 ~U 22.11.13
A former member of Armenia's National Assembly said Friday that the
existing difficulties in the country cannot be entirely blamed on
the president.
"I do not demand that Serzh Sargsyan step down because I find that
there are others apart from him who have to think about bringing the
country out of this
situation; they are to blame for that," Zohrab Zohrabyan told a
news conference.
"The country is really in a deplorable condition, but is only the
president to blame for that? Yes, 90 percent of the authorities are
to responsible for this situation".
Asked whether the former parliament member consider himself an
opposition figure, Zohrabyan replied, "I have never considered myself
an opposition figure, and I do not now. I have always considered
myself the servant of the people. I am in politics and keep track
of everything; I am aware of the positive and negative aspects of
all parties."
Speaking of Armenia's Customs Union integration process, the former
lawmaker said he all in all supports the initiative, without having
serious concerns. "That may stir up concerns in a person who doesn't
know what it is. I think it is necessary to conduct a referendum
over that. But it is important to keep in mind that we are greatly
dependent on Russia today," Zohrabyan said.
According to him, it is highly important for Russia to fully guard
the Armenian borders today. All the rest, he said, depends fully on
the Armenian people.
