PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage opposition party's parliamentary group
leader said Armenian Prime Minister's statement, suggesting that
those who refuse to cooperate with the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) will be back to square one, is unacceptable.
According to Stepan Safaryan, the statement is simply a saying "those
who aren't with us, are against us" upgraded into "those who aren't
with us are not getting cushy positions."
Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister commented on rumored conflict between
the ruling 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 said.
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.
"Rumor-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 PM spokesman Aram Ananyan, an attempt was made to distort
the meaning of PM's statement, insinuating that it was addressed to
RPA coalition partners. As Ananyan noted earlier, "the statement was
meant for forces that use political struggle to pursue their personal
goals rather than promote the country's development. The statement
does not refer to Prosperous Armenia, our coalition partner, which
renders the rumours to the opposite rather absurd."
