The idea of the Robert Kocharian online fan club and website itself belong to an initiative group, which had worked on its creation for about a year. These are people (mainly youth), who not only share the political views of the second president of Armenia, but also are real professionals in the area of internet technologies,” said Viktor Soghomonyan, head of Robert Kocharian’s office, in an exclusive interview with Yerevan-based Mediamax news agency.
According to Soghomonyan, Kocharian’s office will support the project in every way and will contribute to its development.
“We have already prepared a large volume of materials on president Kocharian’s activity from 1998–2008, and in the near future, we’re going to pass those materials to the website organizers. At the same time, we are not going to interfere with creation of the content: it is the prerogative of the project authors.
“Taking this opportunity, on behalf of Robert Kocharian and his office, I would like to sincerely thank the founders of the website for the wonderful work they did and for the principled attitude and patriotism,” said Soghomonyan.
As previously reported, the main purpose behind the website of the Robert Kocharian unofficial fan club, according to the site, is “proper coverage of [Kocharian’s] activities.”
According to local blogger ditord, the domain name was registered and the site launched on May 10 of this year, while a promotional video was uploaded on May 30, “one day ahead of a key opposition rally in Armenia.”
In the video, passers-by in the streets of Yerevan, when asked who they’d like to see as Armenia’s next president, unanimously responded Robert Kocharian, emphasizing his human qualities and his work in developing the country over the past 10 years.
