"Levon Ter-Petrosyan retired long time ago but he has a right to express his opinion as a RA citizen," Leader of the RPA parliamentary faction Galust Sahakyan said on July 28.
Mr. Sahakyan holds a different opinion about retired president Robert Kocharyan.
"Kocharyan was a creative man. He did not demit to the last moment and successfully performed all his duties," Sahakyan told a news conference today.
The RPA Leader refutes the rumours on the possible reconciliation of Ter-Petrosyan and Serzh Sargsyan, especially after the recent congress of the Armenian National Congress (HAK).
"We continually say that Karabakh will never appear in the territory of Azerbaijan while HAK says it is necessary for Armenia's future development. In other words, our ideologies contradict each other," Sahakyan said.
The leader of the parliamentary majority says there is no opposition in Armenia in the broadest sense of the word.
"The Pan-Armenian National Movement no longer exists or is undergoing some changes. Today, neither the Movement nor the Congress will win the elections," said Mr. Sahakyan who earlier thought that Pan-Armenian National Movement would win the elections if it ran separately.
Galust Sahakyan is content with the government since it was able to surmount the global economic crisis. On the other hand, he says that the government was unmatched when headed by Andranik Margaryan and Serzh Sargsyan.
"They were able to create the image of ideal state figures," Mr. Sahakyan noted.
