Aram Sargsyan was the leader of some opposition party. He did not have a specific position; he represented a public organization. Informal meetings were held there. This was an initiative of a US foundation and the Presidential Administration of Russia. Meetings were organized for the public, and I also participated in them. We met him there as well.
“Elchi” reports that former Foreign Minister Tofiq Zulfugarov said this in a statement to Axar.az while commenting on Aram Sargsyan’s recent statement regarding Azerbaijan.
“I read a more extensive version of the interview, and honestly, I did not understand it. What do the words I said have to do with the events he is talking about? First of all, whether I said these words or not is questionable. I don’t remember.
The shooting incident that took place in the parliament in 1999 is being recalled. The general opinion was that it was a move against Kocharyan and his pro-Western steps. We had no connection to that matter. That incident has not been fully explained. At that time, I was asking what happened, etc.
It is not excluded that we drank coffee there. However, I did not see the connection between saying these words and interpreting internal affairs. Let him speak in detail so that we can understand too,” he stated.
