“I consider that Mr. Kocharyan has always been on politics, and some political circles’ nervous responses are surprising for me that Kocharyan any move sets off – tours, visits or expression of opinion,” said RA President Serzh Sargsyan in the course of his April 9 visit to Tavush region.

According to him, it’s okay when Kocharyan voices his opinion on any matter.

In addition, he commented on the rumors of RA Premier’s dismissal, saying “I do not intend to dismiss him or the government, the rumors are groundless.”

“I would understand these gossips when the economy registered 15-17% economic downturn, but our economy team has duly stood up to the crisis,” Sargsyan stated. “But today, when the economy revives, there is no sense in speaking of the team’s incompetence or a need of change.”
