ArmInfo. Robert Kocharyan is deeply concerned with the fact that the new authorities do not adequately assess developments in Armenia and abroad. "I am very worried when the Prime Minister says that the whole world must adapt, adapt to the new situation in Armenia," Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, accused of overthrowing the constitutional order, said in an interview with Yerkir Media on August 16.
According to Kocharyan, Russia is not a country with which one can speak in such a language. "This is our strategic partner," he said. In his opinion, the incumbent government does not have an idea of the existing serious threats. "They talk about one thing, and do the opposite. The price may be too high, "he pointed out.
At the same time, as the second president stressed, the government should remember that it is responsible not only for Armenia, but also Artsakh and the security of the entire Armenian people. According to Kocharyan, because of all these reasons, he decided to return to politics. "No one deprived me and others of having an opinion and voicing it. What are you confused about? Can one have a dissenting opinion in this country? "- he said.
As the former president thinks, today in Armenia an attempt is made to divide the political field into black and white. "Because of this, people with dissenting position are subjected to persecution," he said.
To recall, on August 10, Armenian Prime Minister NikolPashinyan, commenting on the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the events in Armenia are contrary to the statements of the new leadership of Armenia, said that a new situation has developed in Armenia and everyone should adapt to it. "I think this is a new situation and we all have to adapt to this situation, including our Russian partners, and we ourselves, so everything is in order," Pashinyan said.
