Ideology of national interests is not racismNovember 12, 2010 - 13:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of the Republican Party of Armenia Razmik Zohrabyan stated that the ideology proceeding from national interests can never be racist. Commenting on the recent speech Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan during a rally in Yerevan, Zohrabyan said: “It’s noteworthy that Ter-Petrosyan referred to this ideology just when the head of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE sent a letter to PACE President to complain about Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's statement during a meeting with journalists from Diaspora. Moreover, Ter-Petrosyan's speech was almost identical with the text of the letter.” “So, it turns out that the first President of Armenia acts as a mouthpiece of Azerbaijan,” he concluded.
