Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is part of the authorities and shares
the responsibility for the current economic situation in the country,
Vice Chairman of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Razmik
Zohrabyan told media on March 20.
To recall, at the 6th congress of Prosperous Armenia Party on March
16 the party's leader Gagik Tsarukyan raised the issues of growing
migration and the high poverty level in Armenia and criticized the
government's activity.
"PAP is well aware that it is part of the authorities and the speech
at the congress of the party was self- criticism, I think. In addition,
during pre-election campaign parties often come out with self-criticism
to gain votes. RPA also criticizes the situation in the country and
is not always satisfied with the reforms in the country. Therefore,
one should not perceive Tsarukyan's speech as discrepancies between
the two parties," the Republican said. He said that PAP has portfolios
of ministers and it can refuse its responsibilities in the executive
body of Armenia if it is dissatisfied with anything. Zohrabyan said
that despite the campaign wherein every party is propagating itself,
the ruling coalition is still functioning in line with the memorandum
signed. "The coalition memorandum says that all the three parties of
the Coalition will support the candidature of the incumbent president
during the presidential election of 2013. After the parliamentary
elections, we will come out with such statement again and express
our support to President Serzh Sargsyan," he said.
To recall, on Feb 17 2011 leaders of the coalition parties signed
a memorandum and agreed to support Serzh Sargsyan at the upcoming
presidential election. However, a member of the PAP Vardan Oskanyan
declared last week that the coalition memorandum no longer existed.
