Robert Kocharyan's shadow is behind Gagik Tsarukyan and the Kremlin's
shadow is hanging over Kocharyan, filmmaker and public figure Tigran
Khzmalyan has told ArmInfo.
"Serzh Sargsyan, who has been trying to keep a foot in both worlds for
many years, feels that shadow and tries to enlist the West's support.
Judging by the latest statements of European officials and ambassadors,
the West is obviously giving its preference to Sargsyan", he says.
Khzmalyan thinks that the West has already approved the plans to
promote the cooperation with the post- Soviet countries, first of all,
with the countries involved in the Eastern Partnership. As a victim of
the Kremlin's pressure, Armenia is also a part of these plans. This
explains the Western officials' striving to intensively invite Serzh
Sargsyan to the upcoming Eastern Partnership summit in Riga.
He is convinced that the inter-oligarchic conflicts are behind the
whole clownery. He believes that the intensifying rigidity in the
inter-clan fight in Armenia is explained by the intention of the
Prosperous Armenia Party and the Armenian National Congress to use
the traditional wave of protest at the upcoming events commemorating
the 1 March 2008 tragedy to change the incumbent regime.
"Serzh Sargsyan is displeased with the fact that Gagik Tsarukyan
is an obstacle on the way of Sargsyan's intentions to attach some
international legitimacy to his own regime due to the April 24 events.
In the meantime, Tsarukyan is backed by his masters. I think all the
latest statements should be considered in this light", he says.
