Levon Zurabyan, member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) would with pleasure comment on the statement made by Armenia’s ex-president Robert Kocharyan “if it were a political one”. “But they were a hunter’s words, we, in politics, do not understand, as we are not in the habit of going on safaris,” Zurabyan said. “I am sorry, but this person remains a gasbag. Concrete, factual accusations were brought against him, and he should have responded if he had something to say,” Zurabyan said.

NEWS.am reminds readers that, speaking at meeting of the ANC active members on November 11, Ter-Petrosyan accused Robert Kocharyan and the then Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian of having implemented an ineffective foreign policy which weakened Armenia’s positions on the Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia-Turkey normalization processes. He also called for not laying the “sins” of Kocharyan’s presidency on the incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan.

Robert Kocharyan, in turn, called the accusations absurd. He told about an experience he had in Africa: one of the hunters was constantly remembering the bear as the strongest of the animals. “May be I am a source of inspiration for Ter-Petrosyan, and it is the reason why he remembers me so often,” Robert Kocharyan said.
