"If the opposition does not make a serious claim for power, this claim
will be made by shadow economy representatives," Shavarsh Kocharyan,
National Democratic Party (NDP) chairman, told a press conference
today. In his words, 80% of businessmen are tired of paying services
to the power authorities and want to take the power themselves.
Panorama.am asked Kocharyan if he means Gagik Tsarukyan and his
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) but Kocharyan refrained from giving
names and said all big businessmen are working in shadow in Armenia
and that is why the mid size business is not developing in the
country. When the reporter insisted on his question, Kocharyan said,
"If I said that the leader of PAP Gagik Tsarukyan does not work in
shadow, would you believe me?"
