World Has Not Forgotten How Robert Kocharian Was Cheating Armenians: Stepan Safaryan

The second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, intends to return to politics, but his aspirations will not be fulfilled, said Heritage Party faction leader Stepan Safaryan at a press conference today, referring to Kocharian’s unexpected visit to France recently and his meeting with former French president Jacques Chirac.

“No matter to what extent it is hidden or denied the fact that he is attempting to return to politics, it’s all the same, it’s not true. He does have such an intention. But I’m pretty sure, it won’t work out for him,” said Safaryan.

Upon Tert.am’s request, he continued: “Because, in that process, he will have neither serious outside nor internal support in the process. The world has not forgotten how he walked around, made promises, and did nothing for 10 years. The world remembers how he handed over the leadership,” said Safaryan.

According to Safaryan, these are not his own words but those of a well-known person whose name he declined to mention, adding that Kocharian has big issues with the Armenian public, and that he would have to spend huge efforts to reconcile them.
