“PRIME MINISTER SHOULD BE SKILLFUL MANAGER”
Today the “Hayeli” Club hosted Republican Armen Ashotian who dwelt on Armenia’s latest events. “The recent events are characteristic of transitional countries,” Armen Ashotian said. In the main, he divided the history of the newly independent state into three phases. In 1988-1998 Armenia entered an “embryonic” sage. In 1998-2008 the country began maturing and finally after 2008 it became conscious.
Today Ashotian spoke of Armenia’s next prime minister as well.
“I want to focus on his qualities. A prime minister should represent a political team, but he mustn’t be a “politicized” figure. He should be a skillful manager,” Ashotian said with regard to Armenia’s next prime minister without giving any names.
“Do you mean Hovik Abrahamian?” a journalist interrupted him.
“Where did you know?” Ashotian asked in his turn.
“As you didn’t say anything about his/her intellect,” she said.
“A prime minister should necessarily have a high level of intellect,” Ashotian said.
Today Ashotian drew parallels between Kosovo and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. “Since the proclamation of Kosovo’s independence, Armenia and NKR have failed to derive highest dividends from the Kosovo precedent as our attention is focused in another direction.”
The events of March 1 undoubtedly affected Armenia’s rating on an international level. I am speaking of outer forces. The rallies pursued one objective – to weaken the country from inside and to make it vulnerable for outside forces,” Ashotian said.
“It is necessary to uproot the social basis of Levon Ter-Petrossian’s electorate, change their moods, for the statements of Ter-Petrossian and people around him not to shape a public opinion. It is necessary to understand why those 350 thousand people have passed to that camp, and to find a policy solution to their problems. In this format Levon Ter-Petrossian will not be needed,” said the Republican.
Today while replying journalists’ questions, Ashotian blamed the latest events exceptionally on the opposition. “You see, one cannot speak to or negotiate with a wall. If you speak and the other keeps silent, if you try your best to foster a dialogue but get no response, your attempts turn into a monologue.”
Reminder: Levon Ter-Petrossian welcomed the initiatives and propositions of the European Uniona and the Ago group and expressed readiness to negotiate over the propositions.
