PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Prime Minister commented on rumored conflict
between the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and Prosperous
Armenia party.
"Those who cooperate with us will only gain by it; those who refuse,
will be back to square one," Tigran Sargsyan told journalists at
National Assembly.
The PM characterized RPA as the axis that the other coalition partners
spin around, the position that the party aims to develop further.
"The coalition memorandum signed in February consolidated the view
above. Coalition parties will unite around president Serzh Sargsyan,
without attempting to strengthen their own positions through their
partners," the PM said.
"Rumour-mongers are grossly mistaken about our possibilities. Today,
RPA is the strongest political force in Armenia, capable of retaining
and strengthening its position. However, we're always open to
cooperation with other political forces," the Prime Minister noted.
According to Hraparak newspaper, RPA executive body gathering focused
on further cooperation with Prosperous Armenia party. The newspaper
said that some RPA members considered Prosperous Armenia leader Gagik
Tsarukyan's refusal to publicly announce support for Serzh Sargsyan's
candidacy at next presidential race to be unacceptable. Despite
coalition memorandum signed, Tsarukyan spoke of the party's intention
to initiate a separate presidential campaign. RPA executive body gave
Prosperous Armenia till next week to specify its position, expressing
support for Sargsyan's nomination.
Following the meeting, RPA members refused to reveal any detail, with
the party spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov noting domestic situation as
the theme of discussion held.
