I do not share opinions, of course, that what happened in 1998 is called a state-political coup. RA Secret President Robert Kocharian stated this at a press conference.
The observation that although he was not a priority mandate, but he refused to resign in 1998, Kocharyan said. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan had the opportunity to release by the decree. Give this question, what will it not be fired, what do you ask me that question? At that time, they did not release SMS, now there was just sms, or there was no, I don't know now. There is a very simple answer to that question, you try to look for a very complicated answer. He had this opportunity to release, at that time the Constitution of the President was almost infinite. What didn't you release?
You say you had no primary mandate, I had a primary mandate in Karabakh, and I refused that mandate because Leon Ter-Petrosyan asked me to come to Armenia to hold the post of Prime Minister.
There have been many clear agreements on how we work. I said very clearly that I had not had a boss for a long time. Relations with Levon Ter-Petrosyan were good, not bad, but I said, I have not had a boss for a long time, and I come here for this purpose. You don't want if I will not accept you as a boss, I will accept business relationships.
The question is not directed to me. Vazgen Sargsyan would resign or wouldn't he give? I don't know. We haven't talked frankly at that time, just so fast. All this happened, he did not reach it. And you assume if I was released, I didn't fight if we were talking about Karabakh, of course I would fight, "Kocharyan said.
