YEREVAN. – Former Armenian FM Vardan Oskanyan is missing the government so much that he goes to every step for it, Armenian Deputy Parliament Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the statement spread by Vardan Oskanyan.
“I had another opportunity to enjoy the so called opinions of the former FM and once again I got convinced that demagogy can have no limits. Yes, our country does have many problems and the ruling coalition and the Republican Party have pointed out that fact many times. The Republican Party of Armenia will be the one conducting the reforms expected by the Armenian nation. For sure, Oskanyan is not the savor and reformer our citizen expects,” Sharmazanov mentioned.
According to Sharmazanov, “Oskanyan missed the government so much that now he does everything to return to it.”
Sharmazanov also mentioned that he wonders whether Oskanyan is aware that the party he joined was responsible for the economic direction Armenia has adopted.
According to him it seems that Oskanyan is not a politician but a demagogue politician.
