    HRANT MARGARIAN: PRIME MINISTER DECLARED WAR ON DASHNAKTSUTYUN

    http://www.aysor.am/en/news/2013/07/10/margaryan-sargsyan/
    Wednesday,July 10

    Prime Minister openly stated that he declares war on
    ARF-Dashnaktsutyun, representative of the Bureau of ARFD Party Hrant
    Margarian told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Armenian service.

    In his words, as part of that war, the prime minister orders 'dirty
    gossip' about ARFD in the press.

    It should be mentioned that some media outlets wrote about serious
    discontent within ARFD party, in particular, about attempts to remove
    Hrant Margarian from his position as head of the ARFD Bureau.

    Asked by RFE/RL if party members are displeased with him, Margarian
    replied that there were some problems, particularly the party members
    were displeased the ARFD results in the recent elections to Yerevan
    Council of Elders, but the problems have been solved.

    "Such press reports have nothing to do with reality. Efforts are
    being made from outside to find a rift in ARFD and create problems,"
    Margarian noted, explaining that the matter concerns the prime
    minister.

    "After the criticism (by ARFD) of incoherent economic activities,
    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan openly stated he declares war on
    Dashnaktsutyun and the dirty information resembling dirty gossip is
    his doing. A weak person is trying to solve issues by such means,"
    Hrant Margarian said.

    In his words, ARFD neither is fond of the prime minister nor hates
    him, but he is a "failed" prime minister and for that reason he uses
    such methods to deal with his problems.

    Asked by RFE/RL where the prime minister said that he would declare
    war, Margarian said: "In his circles, he knows where he declared
    that". He stressed that they have reliable information about it.

    In response to the question about what methods the ARFD will use
    to confront in that war, Margarian noted that the war will harm the
    prime minister, rather than ARFD.

    As regards the offshore scandal linked to the prime minister's name,
    Hrant Margarian said an assessment was already given, while Tigran
    Sargsyan's explanations put the prime minister himself in a ridiculous
    position.

    He expressed confidence that the prime minister should be dismissed,
    and ARFD has repeatedly said that.

    'If we don't want to kill the last gleam of hope in the country,
    this is the minimum step to be taken. It is necessary to dismiss not
    only the premier, but also many others."

    When asked if they demand the president's resignation as well,
    Margarian said: "The president's change depends on popular will".

    The prime minister's spokesman rejected those accusations against
    Tigran Sargsyan, saying that the head of the government didn't declare
    any war on ARFD.

    'The prime minister greatly respects all the traditional parties".

    The prime minister's spokesman Harutyun Berberian, commenting on the
    abovementioned statements of Hrant Margarian, said: "First of all,
    we wonder what war Mr. Margarian is talking about?"

    "We don't agree with the assessment of the economic policy. If such
    assessments aim to attract attention, it is another matter," the
    spokesman said.
