Russia wants change of power in Armenia, Hrant Bagratian believes

Deputy of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) parliamentary faction Hrant Bagratian believes that Russia wouldn’t mind if a popular movement won in Armenia.

“If we are not going to change anything, it is no use gathering here. There is no Russian factor here. Russia will not mind if some popular movement wins in Armenia,” Hrant Bagratian said during today’s rally in Liberty Square of Yerevan.

He also slammed the U.S. ambassador to Armenia John Heffern who earlier supported the introduction of the compulsory accumulative pension system in Armenia.” I hope it is not the opinion of the U.S. government,” Bagratian said.
