Zaruhi Postanjyan comes back: Heritage party vice-chairman pleasantly surprised
11:56 - 06.10.13
Tert.am talked to Vice-Chairman of the Heritage party Armen
Martirosyan about the meeting of Zaruhi Postanjyan, a Heritage
parliamentary group member, at the airport.
- Mr Martirosyan, Mrs Postanjyan was met at the airport with flowers
and patriotic songs. Did you expect it or was it a surprise to you?
- First of all, the presence of both civil activists and political
figures, as well as of individual citizens, was a pleasant surprise.
Indeed, more people were present than I had expected. Details are of
secondary importance.
- Raffi Hovannisian was absent though he said in one of his interviews
that he was proud of Mrs Postanjyan. Hovsep Khurshudyan and you were
present. Is there a grain of truth in that Mrs Postanjyan's words at
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) evoked
varied responses within the Heritage party ranks?
- Nothing but public statements.
- Some said they would not put such a question.
- I do not see any problem. People show different behavior, and they
all are not necessarily expected to hold the same opinion, which we
have always seen the ruling circles do. So you should not expect the
Heritage party to show a stereotyped behavior. The Heritage party
welcomes different opinions.
- Mrs Postanjyan was somewhat excited. So you think those were tears of joy?
- I think Mrs Postanjyan will soon hold a press conference, and you can ask her.
- Can she or her relatives have received threats?
- I think you should ask her, but I have not heard anything like that
from her. I hope the situation is not so bad in our country.
- None of the Armenian delegation members welcomed Mrs Postanjyan's
question at PACE. Moreover, it was reported to be an unpleasant
surprise to other delegations.
- I have not talked to any member of the Armenian delegation to PACE
about others' reaction to the question. I think Mrs Postanjyan can
tell about it. Let us not forget that she put that question not to
gain anyone's favor, but she considered it necessary to ask that
question. The same can be said of our struggle. Many people do not
like it. But we do not think of who likes us or dislikes.
