“Many in the Establishment do not believe Serzh Sargsyan is able to ensure the regime’s further existence. On the other hand everyone is well aware the ship is sinking, and the situation is getting out of control,” Levon Zurabyan, Office Coordinator, Armenian National Congress, told reporters on April 2.

Speaking of the ex-president Robert Kocharyan’s possible return to politics, Zurabyan pointed out that “he finished his presidency with murders on March 1, and on October 27 with the embezzled U.S. $4bn, formation of an oligarchic system ousting of Nagorno-Karabakh from the negotiating process, closure of A1+ TV channel,” he said.

According to Zurabyan, Robert Kocharyan is the creator of a “state of plunder” in Armenia, and if anyone thinks that “a person hated by society could return to politics, that one is of very low opinion of the Armenian people.”

In conclusion Zurabyan said that Serzh Sargsyan is now representing Robert Kocharyan’s interests, “but the problem is that, as Robert Kocharyan thinks, Serzh Sargsyan has stopped doing it well.”
