On January 20, Levon Kocharyan, MP from the "Armenia" bloc, criticized the ruling government, addressed issues of justice, and shared his views on political matters during a conversation with journalists in the Armenian parliament.

Kocharyan described the government as "anti-national" and stated that he is personally invested in its removal, citing personal grievances and accusing the government of surrendering Artsakh, which he deemed unforgivable. He clarified that there are no high-level tensions between supporters of Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, dismissing rumors of disputes within opposition circles.

When asked about Russia's role in the recent developments in Nagorno-Karabakh, Kocharyan refrained from speculation but acknowledged the damage to Russia's reputation in Armenia and globally. He disagreed with suggestions that Russia may have negotiated a better deal with Azerbaijan, emphasizing that such outcomes likely harmed Russia's credibility.

Regarding his political ambitions, Kocharyan stated he has no desire to become Prime Minister, explaining that his involvement in politics arose out of necessity rather than ambition. He rejected the notion that Armenia’s political processes should be influenced by foreign approval, emphasizing the importance of internal sovereignty in decision-making.

Kocharyan also criticized the ruling party’s candidate for the Supreme Judicial Council, Alexander Sirunyan, citing the Corruption Commission’s report and Sirunyan’s public conduct as indicative of the government's flawed approach to justice. He further noted the candidate’s past affiliation with "GD" and its implications for fairness in judicial matters. Responding to criticism of past governance, Kocharyan argued that past mistakes do not justify current failures.
