Has Vartan Oskanian Fallen from the Moon?

Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) MP Sukias Avetisyan, turning his attention to former Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian earlier statements on changing the country’s leadership, repeated his viewpoint: “It’s the envy in Oskanian that’s speaking since Armenia’s foreign policy wasn’t as stimulated during his days [as foreign minister].”

Avetisyan is amazed by Oskanian being surprised and the statements which stem from that surprise. “If I didn’t know that man, I would consider him someone that the Americans sent to the moon in 1992, and today he’s come down from the moon and he’s amazed that in Armenia there are discrepancies in domestic policy,” said the HHK deputy.

Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) faction secretary Artyush Shahbazyan, in turn, said that Oskanian simply expressed his views.

“If ruling authorities cannot resolve the issues put before them, then they should step down,” he said.
