There is no point in debating. Kocharyan

I think that was a trick by Nikol Pashinyan to get out of the situation, to say something at that moment, to make some kind of argument, to respond quickly, that is his style. This was stated today, on February 17, during a press conference by the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, responding to the question of whether it would be correct to accept Nikol Pashinyan's proposal to participate in a debate and put an end to all accusations related to both the negotiation process and Meghri.

“If a person has been living in that style for many years, looking for something in everything said, following up, trying to understand why it is that way, it is pointless. This is how I view his statements of this kind. There should be a subject for debate. The rational explanation for a debate is as follows: there is a question that may have different opinions, and indeed, a debate serves the function of revealing the truth of that question. Now, the topic he is proposing as a debate, there is nothing to argue about for me. What should I prove?

I also see debates on 'H1', where the criteria for participation of government representatives is as follows: how many lies can I say in one minute so that the opponent does not have time to respond. Participating in such a debate is something I consider completely pointless. You have an opinion, that opinion is known. I have an opinion, I gathered you here, and I express that opinion in plain language. By the way, for debates, if I'm not mistaken, Mark Twain has a good saying: do not debate with a fool, because he will crush you with his experience.”
