AUTHORITIES-OPPOSITION RELATIONS TO GET MORE COMPLICTED AFTER ANDRANIK
MARGARIAN’S DEATH, FORMER RA PRIME MINISTER ARAM SARGSIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, MARCH 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "Andranik Margarian was an
individuality having unique political handwriting." As Aram Sargsian,
the Chairman of the "Hanrapetutiun" (Republic) party, former RA Prime
Minister mentioned in the interview with the Noyan Tapan correspondent,

"the ability to listen was one of his greatest and most important
characteristic features, as well as the fact that he did not change as
a person when working at such a high post. "It is a serious ordeal,"
he mentioned. In A. Sargsian’s words, there are unfortunately very few
of those people in the ruling pyramid of Armenia who have "positive
fillings, some humane characteristic features, tolerance, ability to
forgive, and Andranik Margarian was the first in that list."
A. Sargsian expressed sorrow that after Andranik Margarian’s death,
"type of such people" will at all be pushed out of the political
arena, what he characterized as a very negative phenomenon. "There are
people among the authorities as well who have positive fillings but
they can not protect themselves without Andranik Margarian and they
will be pushed out of the political arena just for it," he
mentioned. Former RA Prime Minister especially attached importance to
the circumstance that Andranik Margarian was able to keep normal
relations "without spite" with the opposition. In A. Sargsian’s words,
the authorities-opposition relations will become more serious and
difficult in some sense.
