Grisha Sargsyan: Armenia does not even have its own cat (video)
Grisha Sargsyan, Chairman of the Union of Militsiya Special Forces Veterans, today apologized for his continued support to the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK). “I was mistaken to believe their empty promises for many years. People live so badly that the poverty rates will soon exceed 40 percent. Over 10 billion was taken out of the country in the past several years,” he said today. Grisha Sargsyan says individuals in Armenia are much richer than the state. In all countries, the state governs oligarchs, while in Armenia oligarch are in power. “Armenia does not even have its own cat,” he stressed. The aim of the changes in the new government is to ensure the reproduction of power. Speaking about the new PM, Mr. Sargsyan said he is ‘a bold guy.’ “When he [Karen Karapetyan became Mayor of Yerevan, everyone in the Republican Party of Armenia begged him to join their ranks but he refused. However, his government has 6 months to work and they are preparing for the 2017 parliamentary elections. Should the Prime Minister punish all those who looted the country, we would welcome his decision and the army will stand by his side,” he said. Grisha Sargsyan says he travels quite often and sees the neglected state of our diplomatic structures. “Ambassadors are engaged in business with local oligarchs, kin relationships have penetrated into embassies as well. Only 1-2 members of the embassy staff speak the language of the given country,” he said. Then he spoke about Armenia’s Ambassador to the UK Armen who does not do serious work for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, but only cares for his personal welfare. In the end, Grisha Sargsyan added that Russia does not pay Armenia money for having a military base in the country, but it pays to other countries. “We keep and feed the Russian military base in our country.”
