YEREVAN. - The ghost of mistrust hovering over Hovik Abrahamyan,
Armenia's former National Assembly Speaker and chief of the ruling
coalition Republican Party of Armenia's (RPA) nonexistent Campaign
Headquarters for the upcoming parliamentary elections, is not
disappearing in any way, Zhoghovurd daily writes.
"Zhoghovurd's sources close to RPA inform that some Party circles
continue to discuss the option of dismissing Abrahamyan of his duties
as Chief of the [Campaign] Headquarters. They suspect him of carrying
out a concealed campaign in favor if his in-law, [the coalition's
Prosperous Armenia Party] PAP Chairman Gagik [Gago] Tsarukyan. And when
recently Hovik Abrahamyan's close associates informed him of this,
he attempted to validate his loyalty to [President and RPA Chairman]
Serzh Sargsyan, and said: 'If I work for PAP, Sargsyan will not give
me a position. How could I work [for PAP]? [You think] I will go to
Gago and ask for a position?' And only time will tell whether those
at RPA [actually] believed Hovik Abrahamyan," Zhoghovurd writes.
