Former prime minister, Armenian National Congress (ANC) parliamentary group member Hrant Bagratyan has refused to comment on other politicians’ statements.

“First I don’t comment on politicians’ remarks; second I never speak about a political force that declared itself opposition,” he told a news conference, when asked to comment on ANC member David Shahnazaryan’s statement, claiming the bloc ceased existence as a separate force.

Mr. Bagratyan further noted that it’s beyond his principles to comment on the remarks “that slam even his activity.”
