Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan drew parallel between Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russia’s opposition figure Alexey Navanly, insisting both have similarities in their actions. Kocharyan’s remarks came in an interview with Sputnik news agency.  

“They have a lot in common – the lack of expericnce, the cynisicm as well as a talent to manipulate people. That is a talent, indeed, when a person creates a chaos and feels quite comfortable in it,” Kocharyan said. 

In the words of the former president, the rise of such people is part of an anti-system trend which is generated from ‘decentralization of information’ through web and social media. 

“And all this contradicts to state thinking, and the basics of state-building, in general. By the way, the ground for it is much  stronger in Russia,” added the ex-president.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
