Khachatur Sukiasyan suggests that politicians apologize and leave politics if they ever err
Former Armenian lawmaker Khachatur Sukiasyan has not decided yet whether he will return to politics or continue his business activities. “We shall study the sphere and understand our future actions. If there is a desire for legitimacy, I mean if you want to see everything in order, in accordance with the law, it encourages you to go to politics. On the other hand, we should consider the players in the political domain. After all, people want to see a change of generation, they want to see new people, hear new ideas, new proposals and new demands,” Mr Sukiasyan told media representatives on Monday. He says the field is outdated; it has not been changed for 25 years. “They jump from this sidewalk to the other and the vice versa. I think it is time to establish new standards and pose new demands.” The owner of the SIL Concern says we should be guided by Western standards, i.e. allow a politician or party leader ascend to the speaker's rostrum, apologize for his global error and leave the political arena. “No matter what one does in Armenia, they say he has not erred. It means that our society is passive, but people must pose that requirement,” he said. Khachatur Sukiasyan says he is also disappointed. “Of course I am disappointed when I see illegal things happening. You all know what I am talking about,” he said.
