ArmInfo.No one has the right and cannot interfere in the affairs of Armenia. On May 8, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said at a press conference in Yerevan, answering the question of whether the appeal of the current and former Presidents of Artsakh regarding the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan can be considered an intervention in Armenia's affairs and whether this appeal will not affect unity of the Armenian people.
In response, Nikol Pashinyan said that until the third President Serzh Sargsyan answers the question of why the soldiers did not have food, while the members of his family owned millions, he could not be one with Serzh Sargsyan. "There are things that I can't talk about openly, but I can't forgive. If I'm united, I admit that my family can own businesses, but this is a crime," said Pashinyan, adding that if the law admits, the logic of transitional justice should prohibit such phenomena.
"The Armenian people are now united more than ever. Minus 4 or 40 or 100. These are their problems until they return the loot. The robber with the loot cannot be one. Such unification is excluded, "Pashinyan said. Responding to a question about Stepanakert's intervention, Pashinyan said that he did not think that the Karabakh authorities had any opportunity for intervention. "In general, there is no power on planet Earth that can interfere in the affairs of Armenia. The authorities of the country enjoy the trust of the people. There can be no such interference," the RA Prime Minister emphasized. To recall, Artsakh's incumbent president Bako Sahakyan and NKR's second president Arkady Ghukassian appealed to Armenian Prosecutor General Arthur Davtyan to change the preventive measure against Armenia's second president Robert Kocharyan on the eve of the 27th anniversary of the taking of Shushi.
The message received by ArmInfo, in particular, states: "As you know, every year on May 9 in Artsakh is celebrated the Victory Day, the Day of the Formation of the NKR Defense Army and the Liberation of Shushi. According to tradition, in the festivities in Shushi and Stepanakert, among other guests all the former heads of Artsakh, people who have made a significant contribution to the Karabakh war, who were at the origins of the state and the army, participated in the liberation of Shushi and achieving victory, considering the fact that the first President of Artsakh, Robert Kocharyan is under arrest, we ask you, on the eve of May 9, to make a decision to change the preventive measure. We are ready to come up with any public guarantees that will be necessary to release him from the detention center and to keep him free during the whole trial. We hope that your decision will become possible the fate of all three NKR presidents at the festive events on May 9 in Stepanakert and Shushi, which undoubtedly will be a signal of solidarity and unity not only for our society, but for the whole world and the enemy.
