Armenian PM equalizes cooperation to obedience - ARFD member

PanARMENIAN.Net - To Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), cooperation is equal to obedience, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader said, commenting on the PM’s ill-boding statement.

"Those who cooperate with us will only gain by it; those who refuse, will be back to square one," Tigran Sargsyan was quoted as saying at National Assembly.

As Vahan Hovhannisyan told a news conference, RPA’s idea of cooperation is reflected in coalition memorandum, stipulating for no rivalry between coalition parties.

“Many mistakes could have been avoided had coalition parties been truly cooperating, here belong Armenia-Turkey rapprochement initiative, Azeri accession to UN Security Council, as well as catastrophic mistakes in economic policy,” Hovhannisyan noted.

In conclusion, he slammed the statement as unacceptable, no matter whether it was intentional or said on the spur of the moment.
