Kocharyan's role in coup may be crucial for main opposition force - opinion
15:24 * 29.03.14
Second President Robert Kocharyan's possible involvement in a coup
d'état may have a crucial impact on the Armenian National Congress
which is a central political force, says a youth activist.
"Robert Kocharyan, as any other former president, was expected to
demonstrate a desire for returning power. And that's what he has been
doing for quite a long time. It's hard not to notice the Prosperous
Armenia party's connections with Kocharyan, but on the other hand, it
would be fatal for the [Armenian National] Congress," Armen Aghayan, a
member of the nationalist party Hayazn, told reporters, adding that
the ANC has received guarantees for ruling out Kocharyan's return to
power.
He said their party treats the former and incumbent authorities
exactly the same way, not seeing essential differences between policy
lines. "[First President] Levon Ter-Petrosyan is on an equal line with
Kocharyan and [incumbent President] Robert Kocharyan, so we do not see
an ideological difference. Neither are there essential differences in
ensuring a legitimacy of governance," he added.
