GAGIK JHANGIRYAN: LAW DOES NOT OBLIGE SERZH SAGSYAN TO BE WORK TRANSPARENTLY (VIDEO)

Serzh Sargsyan cannot be blamed for not wanting to give an interview
to local media.
"And when did our journalists expressed their desire to interview
Serzh Sargsyan?" says Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly
Galust Sahakyan.
He thinks that Serzh Sargsyan should not be bothered on each occasion
and asked questions in the street. 'He is a president,' he says. But
if our journalists miss Serzh Sargsyan, Mr Sahakyan is ready to inform
Mr Sargsyan about it but he cannot become 'a mediator.'
The man holding the position of Armenian President has certain
restrictions to work openly and transparently, says Gagik Jhangiryan,
a member of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction.
He says the law does not oblige Serzh Sargsyan to be transparent and
accountable to the media. "Article 55 of the Constitution does not
envisage such an obligation," he said.
"And who is Serzh Sargsyan?" asks Zaruhi Postanjyan, a member of the
Heritage party.
She says the man who is sitting at the Presidential Palace at 26
Baghramyan Avenue is engaged in matters which have nothing to do with
the state and its people. "Thieves and robbers cannot work openly
and transparently because theft is an implicit process."
Zaruhi Postanjyan does not know any other Serzh Sargsyan, therefore
she does not understand why a man, who has nothing in common with the
position he is holding, should be accountable to the public [through
the media].
"We have officials who exploit and torture us like slaves and we
somehow tolerate their presence," she said. Ms Postanjyan stresses
that Serzh Sargsyan has usurped power and has no obligations before
Armenian citizens: he has set completely different rules of games.
"And the rules of his game certainly rule out accountability before
public."
