The scandalous question given by an MP from the opposition Heritage
party, Zarui Postanjan, to President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at
PACE session in Strasbourg caused a stormy resonance in Armenia.
As the parliamentary sources told Arminfo, Zarui Postanjan was slagged
off not only by the ruling but also the opposition forces. She was not
supported by her party members either. When meeting the speaker of the
parliament, Hovik Abrahamyan, the head of the Heritage parliamentary
faction, Ruben Hakopyan, did not even try to protect Postanjan.
Moreover, he said that he will have a talk with her after her arrival
to Armenia.
However, according to the same sources, representatives of the youth
wing of RPA are going to meet Postanjan at the airport with eggs and
tomatoes. They gave Postanjan different Turkish and Azerbaijani names
hinting at her link with the Turkish and Azerbaijani lobby.
When commenting on the decision by the speaker of the parliament Hovik
Abrahamyan on Postanjan's removal from the Armenian delegation to
PACE, vice-speaker of the parliament, Edward Sharmazanov, said that
the decision was not adopted in a blaze of anger, as "anger is not
a political category". He said that the decision is right if we take
into consideration the fact that Zarui Posyanjan has lost a sense of
proportion which is inadmissible for a politician.
To recall, rmenian opposition MP Zaruhi Postanjyan asked Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan at PACE on Wednesday how he paid the 70mln
EUR he recently lost in a casino in Europe. Sargsyan said that he
has never been in a casino and does not play gambling games. He added
that he is not as lucky as to have 70mln EUR. "If I had such money,
I would give part of it to you," he said to Postanjyan.
