The People Newspaper writes that Hovhannes Ghazaryan of Artashat,
nicknamed Gasi Hovo, had to leave the country after a row with the
ex-speaker Hovik Abrahamyan and his brother and an attempt on his
life. Now he heads one of the units of the campaign headquarters for
the Republican Party.
The newspaper reports that Ghazaryan agreed to work for the Republican
Party because his son is in prison facing an imprisonment of 10 years.
"The authorities agreed to cut the sentence if Ghazaryan ensures at
least 5000 votes from the area assigned to him. We have learned that
the flags of the Republican Party have appeared on the cars of the
taxi service run by Ghazaryan. In addition, this taxi service was
the cause of the conflict with the Abrahamyan. And the son of Hovik
Abrahamyan set to fire one of those taxis," the newspaper wrote.
Involving Gasi Hovo in the campaign has another purpose. Although
Hovik Abrahamyan is the head of the Republican campaign headquarters,
he does not enjoy the confidence of Serzh Sargsyan. Moreover, Hovik
Abrahamyan's clan is actively campaigning for Prosperous Armenia Party
in Ararat region. Serzh Sargsyan wants to use the factor of Gasi Hovo
to keep the pre-election period under control, especially that so far
the "winner" of the long conflict between the Ghazaryan and Abrahamyan
family was the ex-speaker, so Gasi Hovo stands an exceptional chance
to gain advantage and even regain his former foothold so he will not
spare any effort.
