The virtual war between Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and
former President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan is a well-organized
show, the secretary general of Heritage Party Stepan Safaryan told
journalists on Tuesday.
"This is like a game. Both are saying that the balloon is inflated,
simply one is accusing the other of having inflated the balloon,
while the latter is accusing the former of having blown it up. This
is very much like the Winnie the Pooh tale. But the point is that the
people don't care who has inflated the balloon and who has blown it
up. What they care for is that the balloon is blown up," Safaryan said.
He believes that this "war" may mean that Kocharyan is planning to
come back into politics. "A group of political forces is trying to use
the current social-economic crisis as a weapon against the Government.
I can't say for sure that this attack has been plotted by Kocharyan,
but I can't say the opposite either.
On the other hand, Sargsyan's activeness may mean that he is planning
to become a more significant political figure. He may either have
the President's sanction to be active or he may simply realize that
if not active, he may lose his office. I think the former scenario
is more probable as Sargsyan looks much too relaxed," Safaryan said.
To remind, recently Kocharyan severely criticized Sargsyan and urged
him to work instead of blaming his predecessors.
