The leaving of 400 members of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is
a result of the pressure imposed on them by the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia, a member of the Armenian Pan-National Movement,
Hovanes Igityan, said at today's press-conference.
"The fact that these people left the PAP to join the RPA is evidence
of their being guided by the RPA members. I cannot say if pressure
was imposed upon them to leave the PAP or they were bribed. However,
one may guess, taking into consideration the fact that we are well
aware of the RPA handwriting", - he said.
For his part, representative of the PAP, Vardan Bostanjan, said that
there is nothing catastrophic that 400 members of the PAP left it and
joined the RPA, as this is not the problem of the party which they
left. "We do not see any significant difference in such replacements,
especially taking into account the fact that a part of these people
did not leave our party and their applications were counterfeited.
Another part, which has really left the PAP, did not do that stemming
from the ideological soil. Moreover, I can point at least at one
bribed person which was given the position of the head of department
of the Ararat Police", - Bostanjan said.
The head of the PAP district body in Ararat and Vedi, Karen
Khachatryan, has recently left the PAP and appointed the head of the
Ararat Police department.
