PETROS MAKEYAN: IT WAS SERZH SARGSYAN WHO FORCED PRIME MINISTER TIGRAN SARGSYAN TO RESIGN
14:07 | April 7,2014 | Politics
Chairman of the Democratic Fatherland Party Petros Makeyan says it
was Serzh sargsyan who forced Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan to resign.
"A political figure with a sense of self-respect would have submitted
a resignation after the notorious offshore scandal but Sargsyan did
not do it. Why should he decide to resign now?" said Mr Makeyan.
He does not ascribe the resignation to the four non-coalition forces,
either. "It is the president who decides everything in Armenia,"
he stressed adding that the country lacks a real opposition and the
four forces obey the acting authorities.
"If they did not obey the authorities, they would demand Serzh
Sargsyan's resignation," he added.
Though Makeyan is not interested in the personality of the next prime
minister, he rules out the candidacy of Robert Kocahryan.
"If Kocharyan became prime minister, it would mean that Serzh Sargsyan
works for Kocahryan as a president and has to divide the power between
the two of them. But Serzh Sargsyan needs a puppet premier who will
do whatever he is told to do," Mr Makeyan said adding that nothing
will change after the appointment of the prime minister, because the
oligarchic nature of the economy does not depend on the prime minister,
but on Serzh Sargsyan.
