Head of Armenian Delegation to PACE David Haroutiunyan urged everyone
to stop the mess around the question about casino addressed to the
president at PACE.
"Frankly speaking, I am surprised at the mess around Zaruhi
Postanjyan's question. Most of you probably forgot that in 2011 when
President Serzh Sargsyan delivered a speech at PACE, Postanjyan asked
the president a similar unflattering question, though that question
was more correct from the viewpoint of ethics and spicier. Then she
even demanded the president to leave the country. That is why I am
surprised at the current mess," Haroutiunyan said.
As a member of the ruling party, he said that expectations from the
opposition are quite different now and such behavior of oppositionist
parliamentarians does not meet the idea of healthy opposition in a
democratic country.
To recall, speaking at PACE Postanjyan asked the president how he
was going to pay the 70 million EUR he allegedly lost in a casino.
Postanjyan has been harshly criticized for her question also by local
political forces. Nevertheless, she enlisted the support of some
political forces, public organizations and citizens, who welcomed
her at the airport as "a national hero."
