Ruling Republican Party of Armenia National Assembly (RPA NA) Faction leader Galust Sahakyan on Friday reflected on some MP’s comments concerning the statement made in Strasbourg by Zaruhi Postanjyan.

To note, Postanjyan is opposition Heritage Party NA Faction Secretary and member of Armenia’s delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

In Sahakyan’s view, the incident in Strasbourg cannot become an eternal topic, especially with an unsophisticated approach and from the perspective of taking the “dirty laundry” beyond the country.

“There is dirty laundry in every country; it gets dirty and is washed constantly. The matter is not political,” he stated.  

To the remark that numerous insults are being hurled at Postanjyan these days, the RPA MP noted that if there is an insult, others likewise can insult proportionately.      

“Insulting the dignity of an entire nation is one thing,” Galust Sahakyan stated.  

To note, during the question and answer session at Wednesday’s PACE plenary session in Strasbourg, France, Zaruhi Postanjyan had asked Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan the following question:

“You have appeared here [in the PACE session] not by the will of the people, but [rather] as a consequence of organized crime, the theft of the Armenian people’s vote. Therefore you cannot de jure represent the will and right of the Armenian people. [So,] I’ll give you another question. Have you been to a casino in Europe and lost 70 million euros there? And who paid that amount in your stead?”
