Karapetyan said this himself in response to a question by Epress.am as to whether he would work with Kocharian if the latter returns to politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even during the first elections when there was a suggestion to be with him, I stayed with Stephan Demirchyan till the end \u2014 I didn&#8217;t receive any posts and I didn&#8217;t enter into any financial transactions. I am not going to go on any path with Robert Kocharian; I consider him an evil in the processes in Armenia. I consider that this man has had a serious role in Armenia being in the situation it&#8217;s in today, has had a great role in bringing <object width=\"400\"  height=\"342\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/current.com\/e\/president\/en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/current.com\/e\/president\/en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"  width=\"400\"  height=\"342\" wmode=\"transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object> Serzh Sargsyan to power, who now adopts a completely different course, and for whom he has enough serious disappointments,&#8221; he said during a press conference in Yerevan today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that Robert Kocharian once and for all should understand that all the roads to returning to politics are closed. And someone who fired on March 1 [2008, when authorities fired on protestors following a contested presidential election], during whose term Oct. 27 [1999, the parliamentary shooting] happened and there was a period of political assassinations&#8230; till today, the man says that the HHSh [Pan-Armenian National Movement] at the time hit people, <em>when he was a HHSh board member<\/em>; furthermore, he&#8217;s been a president. Yeah, and then? Did you know what you did as president? Or now, why don&#8217;t you go and say, as the second president of Armenia, who committed those murders, who did those? Or how can you give such an interview that doesn&#8217;t include any explanation whatsoever? They ask him, did he give the order to shoot on Mar. 1 or not, and he explains to us that Christ was wrongly crucified. They say, people were killed; he says, they weren&#8217;t demonstrators \u2014 so if they weren&#8217;t demonstrators, did he have the right to fire?&#8221; said Karapetyan.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to New Times party leader Aram Karapetyan, Robert Kocharian should understand once and for all that&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":97604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[11896,65942,12179,17366,11268],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97662"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
