Parliamentary opposition afraid of seeing its leader on platform - MP

ArmInfo. The current opposition in the National Assembly of Armenia is afraid to invite its leaders to the rostrum of the National Assembly. This was stated to journalists on May 15 by Vahagn Aleksanyan, a member of the National  Assembly from the ruling Civil Contract faction.

According to him, the opposition understands perfectly well that  their leaders - the second and third presidents of the Republic of  Armenia Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan - are unable to answer  the questions that interest Armenian society. "Both Robert Kocharyan  and Serzh Sargsyan are scared by the opportunity to stand before the  rostrum of parliament. If they consider themselves absolutely  innocent for the situation in the country, let them come and answer  all our questions," the government representative said, adding that  both have never served the interests of parliamentarism.

Aleksanyan added that Robert Kocharyan is one concept, and the  "Armenia" bloc he leads is a completely different concept. The second  president of the Republic of Armenia robbed the country, and the  statement of his son, NA deputy Levon Kocharyan, that the amount of  the loot allegedly amounts to $4 billion, and $200 million is  demanded from the family, looks ridiculous. "They stole $200 billion  from the people, do you understand what amount we are talking about?  Where did they get such money from? There is no point in talking  about the diligence of the Kocharyan family members and it just looks  ridiculous," the deputy emphasized. He added that the opposition in  the NA has nowhere to go. "If we monitor the insults from them  towards the government that we swallowed, it will become clear to  everyone how restrained we really are. However, our patience is not  unlimited, it gradually accumulates and at one point makes itself  known," the parliamentarian said, adding that when representatives of  the opposition talk about corruption in power, being monuments to  corruption themselves, it testifies to their level
