Oppositionist: Kim Kardashian alone has done a lot more for international recognition of Armenian Genocide than Republican Party of Armenia

 Kim Kardashian alone has done a lot more for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide than the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) with its senseless "patriotic" speeches, Levon Zurabyan, Head of the Armenian National Congress Faction, said at a briefing in Parliament.  

On April 9, the National Assembly of Armenia discussed the draft resolution urging the international community to recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide. During the debates, Zurabyan criticized the given document and Vice Speaker of the Parliament, Spokesman for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov found Zurabyan's remarks unpatriotic. He said that it is a crime to think like Zurabyan.   

When responding to Sharmazanov's remark, Zurabyan said today, "As regards thoughts and reflections, Sharmazanov is absolutely unreasonable, because he never thinks. There is a Latin expression for people like Sharmazanov - tabula rasa ("clean slate"). This expression is applied for those who cannot express their thoughts, Certainly, the matter concerns children", he said.  

When commenting on the RPA's statements that the ANC is against recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Zurabyan said, "The ANC cannot be against international recognition of the Genocide, we just disagree with the state policy in that dimension. As regards the contribution to international recognition, Kim Kardashyan's contribution is much bigger than the contribution of all the RPA members together", he said.  

When speaking to ArmInfo's correspondent, Eduard Sharmazanov himself called Zurabyan unreasonable and refused to comment on the "political marginals'" statements.
