SURENIANTS: BHK RECEIVED SLAP IN FACE YESTERDAY
Wednesday,
May 08
"BHK (Prosperous Armenia Party) received a slap in the face yesterday:
during the formation of the new government, not only BHK member
Hrachia Rostomian was relieved of his post as sport minister, but
also the legendary sportsman Yuri Vardanian, who is not on friendly
terms with Gagik Tsarukian - to put it mildly - was appointed to that
position," political scientist Suren Sureniants said at a meeting
with journalists today.
According to him, in this way the authorities told BHK: "Go to the
place that you have long wanted to go".
"As for the elections to Yerevan Council of Elders, I think BHK and
Hello Yerevan bloc should take up their seats in the Council and work
actively there. Rejecting seats would mean that you show contempt
for the citizens who elected you. And after the replacement of sport
minister, I would not like Gagik Tsarukian to resign as President of
the National Olympic Committee because he has greatly contributed to
the development of sports in Armenia," Sureniants noted.
The political scientist also commented on the failure of Armenian
National Congress (HAK), Orinats Yerkir Party (OEK), and ARFD to have
their representatives in Yerevan Council.
"OEK votes were collected by Armen Yeritsian, rather than by the
party itself. As regards HAK and ARFD, these parties lost for the same
reason: they carried out secretarial duties. Why should the voter have
voted for HAK that carried out secretarial duties for BHK instead of
voting for BHK? Why should the voter have voted for ARFD and not for
Hello Yerevan?" Sureniants said.
He expressed an opinion that by the autumn at the latest, BHK should
either reject its business wing and become an opposition force or
reject Vartan Oskanian and the political wing and back the authorities.
