Paruyr Hayrikyan: "Russia dislikes me as I said Moscow organized Sumgait events"

Advisor to the Armenian Prime Minister, the member of the Republican Party of Armenia Razmik Zohrabyan called the leader of Union for self-determination Paruyr Hayrikyan a US spy.

Zohrabyan also stated that former USSR- KGB high-rank officer General Kalugin said that the leader of the party collaborated with US intelligence.

Hayrikyan said that the opinions of a member of Republican Party chaired by Serj Sarkisian are not new for him, APA reports.

"Because everyone in Armenia knows who works for which country, who turned our country to the forepost of Russia. The new leader of the Party Robert Kocharyan came to power by the support of Russia, as the former leader," he said.

To Hayrikyan, Russia does not receive him as he said that Moscow committed the Sumgayit events of 1988, Armenia's independence is under Russia’s control, Armenians will be able to live freely in Georgia after withdrawal of Russian bases.

Hayrikyan drew attention to the explosion at the headquarters of Gagik Charukyan's "Prosperous Armenia" party and said it was not by accident.

Charukyan's mother Roza Charukyan in an interview to "Jamanak Yerevan" newspaper accused Sarkisyan of gambling and seizing the power.
