LEVON TER-PETROSYAN WAS TELLING AZERBAIJANI JOKES FROM THE PLATFORM
November 3 2014
Larisa Alaverdyan is outraged that there is a limit beyond which the
first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan should not have exceeded
On the October 24 parliamentary trio rally, the first president of
Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan announced, "The opposition's opposition is
a friend to Serzh Sargsyan." With this statement, Levon Ter-Petrosyan,
basically, ruled out the role of the third force in the internal
political arena, by observing the problems in "black" and "white"
dimensions. Many social and political figures criticize the activities
of the parliamentary trio, others if not criticizing, do not have
great expectations from this movement. The first Ombudsman of Armenia,
also Executive Director of "Against Legal Arbitrariness" NGO Larisa
Alaverdyan, in the conversation with "Aravot", assured that "she does
not have the expectations from the fight of the parliamentary trio,
for which thousands of people are gathered in the Freedom square." On
another occasion, Mrs. Alaverdyan did not rule out the possibility
that the parliamentary trio is paving a way for the second President
of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan. We inquired from Mrs.
Alaverdyan whether by opposing the parliamentary trio as Levon
Ter-Petrosyan announced, he considers himself a friend to Serzh
Sargsyan. Larisa Alaverdyan replied, "To tell the truth, after Levon
Ter-Petrosyan jokes I refuses to comment on any statement made
by the first president. There is a limit beyond which the first
our presidents should not exceed." Note that the joke about Sochi
and Karabakh was from the series of jokes voiced at the October 24
rally by Levon Ter-Petrosyan. In the conversation with us, Larisa
Alaverdyan was outraged and said, "it was unacceptable, eventually,
sacredness should be preserved," later on, she noted that the joke was
widely circulated in the Azerbaijani press. Whether Mrs. Alaverdyan
is disappointed about all of this, she replied, "What are you saying?"
and continued, "There is a country, and truly, there are problems,
and there is also the power and potential of people who should change
all of this to the positive. Moreover, I have said that this movement
at least solves one problem: to keep people awake, and in the end, it
is a platform where people are able to express their protest in show
of the government. I was neither an opposition to this opposition
to take these expressions on me, nor I accept this expression in
black and white dimensions." Mrs. Alaverdyan believes that the
government should also be sensitive to such matters, because people
do not come to the square just like that. At the same time, the first
Ombudsman of Armenia ensures that the problems of those standing on
the platform and below the platform are different. To our question of
whether in fact the people's rights are violated, Alaverdyan replied,
"Unfortunately, the politics does not coincide with purely moral issues
and ideals. In every country, the achievements were made due to human
conflict of interest; at least, every political force has pursued its
own interests, because this is the field where the people are able
to achieve solution of the problems step-by-step, from time to time."
