Kocharyan said he found the accusations particularly strange because Levon Kocharyan had been a young man at the time of the March 1 events, rather than a seven-year-old child. “He should have known what was happening in his family, on the streets and in connection with the March 1 events in general,” Andranik Kocharyan said. Providing historical context, Andranik Kocharyan recalled that former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan had invited Robert Kocharyan to Armenia and appointed him prime minister with the expectation that he would help resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. “From the moment Robert Kocharyan crossed the Lachin corridor, he was thinking about how to seize power from Ter-Petrosyan. Kocharyan also said he had become convinced that the de facto leader of the Hayastan faction was not Anna Grigoryan but Levon Kocharyan, because Levon Kocharyan responds to accusations concerning the years of his father’s administration.
