    Prosperous Armenia Party leader bans supporters from attending
    ex-presidential candidate's rally - newspaper

    April 06, 2013 | 06:46

    YEREVAN. - As the Armenian governmental sources of Hraparak daily
    inform, they agree with opposition Heritage Party Chairman, former FM
    Raffi Hovannisian - who was declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent
    President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential election
    that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the real
    winner in the vote - holding a public meeting and a march on April
    99 - that is, the day when President Sargsyan is scheduled to formally
    swear in for a second term in office, and also when Hovannisian
    likewise plans to swear in, at capital city Yerevan's Liberty Square,
    as Armenia's new president - , but Hovannisian should not `usurp' power,
    that is, he should hold a swearing-in ceremony and put his hand upon
    the Holy Bible, the daily reports.

    `Incidentally, our PAP [that is, Prosperous Armenia Party] sources
    inform that [PAP Chairman and businessman] Gagik Tsarukyan strictly
    instructed party members that none of them tries to attend Raffi
    Hovannisian's swearing-in `ceremony,' march, and, or [public] meeting
    on April 9. According to our PAP interlocutor, aside from [the fact]
    that Heritage is their contender, arrangement is made `at the above'
    as to how they should behave `with respect to' the [capital city
    Yerevan] Council elections [which are slated for May 5].

    [And Armenia's] Armavia [Airline Company, which recently declared that
    it will commence a bankruptcy process] is the primary axis of the
    arrangement. Tsarukyan said if the salary and other debts [of Armavia]
    are paid, he will purchase it. And, apparently, the son of [PAP MP,
    former FM Vartan] Oskanian will purchase the cement factory of Mika
    Baghdasarov [who is Armavia's proprietor],' Hraparak writes.
