Serzh Sargsyan’s Emphases at UN Assembly Appealed to Vahan Hovhannisyan

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s UN General Assembly speech was good, it can be highly rated, but not more, said head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D) parliamentary faction Vahan Hovhannisyan, speaking to journalists in Yerevan today. He noted that the Armenian leader accurately illustrated the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“In this sense it was a flawless and accurate portrayal. Also true is the part where he described Armenian-Turkish relations,” he said, adding it’s a different issue if this speech will be called into practice or not.

In Hovhannisyan’s opinion, two needs stem from Sargsyan’s speech: One, in order to adopt such resolute nationalist policy, Armenia’s authorities are obliged to have serious support inside the country, and in order to acquire this, it’s necessary to uproot the monopolist system.

“It’s obvious that people’s lives are getting worse; people today live much worse than before,” he said.

Accoding to the MP, the second issue is that Armenia’s foreign affairs policy should be consistent with the emphases made there, the first symbol of which should have been recalling Armenia’s signature on the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
