The Armenian authorities are keeping Prosperous Armenia Party in the
coalition by force, Lyudmila Sargsyan, member of the Armenian National
Congress (ANC), said at today's press conference in Yerevan.
"The authorities have some economic dirt about Gagik Tsarukyan and his
party and are trying to keep it in the coalition", Sargsyan said. She
pointed out that if Prosperous Armenia withdraws from the coalition,
the party will advance the ex-president Robert Kocharyan's nominee
for the presidential post.
Sargsyan expressed confidence that if the ex-Speaker of Parliament
Hovik Abrahamyan and Leader of Prosperous Armenia Gagik Tsarukyan
join forces, Serzh Sargsyan will have to refuse the presidential post.
Lyudmila Sargsyan also pointed out that the latest resignations are
connected with the president's visit to Russia and they will not be
restricted to Mikayel Minasyan. "Almost all the resignations were
expected, and at least three more resignations are still expected:
those of Head of National Security Service Gorik Hakobyan, Prosecutor
General Aghvan Hovsepyan and Vice Premier Armen Gevorgyan", she said.
To remind, earlier Head of Armenian Police Alik Sargsyan and Speaker
of Armenian Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan sent in their resignations.
Abrahamyan said that he will occupy the position of the RPA Election
Staff. On November 3 First Deputy Head of the Armenian President's
Staff Mikayel Minasyan was dismissed. He said that "he is going to
help Hovik Abrahamyan to get prepared for the upcoming elections in
the proper way".
