According to rumours, split has been ripening in Prosperous Armenia
Party (PAP) because of different views regarding expediency of joining
the PAP the ruling coalition with Republican Party of Armenia.
As Haykakan Zhamanak daily says, the PAP Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan
warned former FM Vartan Oskanian, who is third in the PAP's National
Assembly member list, that if a coalition is formed between the
Republican Party and the PAP, Oskanian will have to give up his
MP seat.
"But Oskanian, according to our information, told Tsarukyan that he
will leave the Party, but will not renounce the mandate and will work
in the parliament as an independent MP. According to our information,
Tsarukyan also made such proposal to Hmayak Hovhannisyan, [chairman
of the Politologists' Union of Armenia], who is ninth in the PAP's
proportional list and is in fact voted in as a deputy. There are
rumors, however, that Hovhannisyan has no intentions of giving up
his parliamentary mandate under any condition either.
Oskanian and Hovhannisyan, and their numerous supporters are still
hopeful that the PAP will not join the coalition," Haykakan Zhamanak
says.
