PanARMENIAN.Net - Representatives of ruling Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) and Prosperous Armenia coalition parties confirmed that
a meeting took place between President Serzh Sargsyan and Prosperous
Armenia leader Gagik Tsarukyan.
According to RPA parliamentary faction leader Galust Sahakyan, draft
laws, recently submitted for parliamentary discussion were on meeting
agenda. "No political issues were covered," the faction leader noted.
As Prosperous Armenia member Naira Zohrabyan, in turn, noted,
representatives of coalition parties including Orinats Yerkir
participated in the meeting, which focused on tax package submitted
for parliamentary confirmation as well as budget- related issues.
According to Hraparak newspaper, the recent gathering of the RPA
executive body 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 a week to specify its
position, expressing support for Sargsyan's nomination.
Also Armenian Prime Minster Tigran Sargsyan was quoted to say,
"those who cooperate with us will only gain by it; those who refuse,
will be back to square one."
