"Have you recently been in a casino in Europe [...]and have you lost
70 million euros? Who gave you the money you lost?" asked Armenian
delegation member, Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan to Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan following his speech at the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg. She added
that Sargsyan stole the vote in the presidential election earlier
this year and thus, Postanjyan cannot ask him any other question
because he does not represent the Armenian people.
"You are known to the public as a gambler. And have you lost 70 million
euros? Who paid the money you lost for you? If that was not the amount,
then what was the amount of your loss in the casino?" she asked.
Sargsyan first said he's "deeply convinced" that he does, in fact,
represent the Armenian people and he's proud of it.
"Unfortunately, your candidate was not able to display the kind of
qualities one would need in a presidential election to be able to
represent the Armenian people.
"Your statement about a casino is another product of your imagination.
I have never been in any casino in Europe. I do not gamble in casinos.
Unfortunately, I do not have the means to manage 70 million euros. But
if I did, I would donate part of it to you to be happier with your
life and for so much evil not to accuulate in you. Consider that I
didn't answer you[r question]," he said.
