Rubinyan on Levon Ter-Petrosyan

Your father was the Speaker of the National Assembly during Levon Ter-Petrosyan's presidency. Does it not imply that your father was part of the election fraud? Do you agree with those assessments regarding electoral manipulation?

"The presidential elections of 1996 were not fair, and I have always known that. If we go back and look at my statements before the revolution of 2018, you will see that," said Ruben Rubinyan, Vice Speaker of the National Assembly, during a conversation with journalists in parliament, addressing the question regarding his father's role.
"As for my father, if you dig up one of his articles written in 2011 or 2012, you will see that he expressed his opinion about the 1996 elections. The title of that article is 'We Are to Blame.' Please find it and read it," he announced.

When asked if he admits retrospectively that his father was involved in electoral fraud, Rubinyan replied, "I will not comment on what my father did and how he accepted it." When also asked about his father's support for Levon Ter-Petrosyan, he responded: "I supported Levon Ter-Petrosyan in 2008; my father did as well, and Nikol Pashinyan also supported him because we believed that we should be freed from the predatory regime, or as Levon Ter-Petrosyan would say, the Mongol-Tataric regime." In response to a clarifying question regarding Ter-Petrosyan's statement, whether to be freed from the national disaster or not, he added, "This is the case where I do not agree with Levon Ter-Petrosyan, and that's why, unlike 2008, I do not support him now."
