YEREVAN. - The reporter from Haykakan Zhamanak daily asked Iveta
Tonoyan, the spokeswoman of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Chairman
Gagik Tsarukyan, whether the latter will leave the National Security
Council (NSC), where he is a member, the daily reports.
``No such matter is discussed at this time,' Tonoyan responded.
This matter became actual when it was decided that Sport [and Youth
Affairs] Minister Hrachya Rostomyan will not be included in the new
Government. Once becoming a minister, Rostomyan naturally had
suspended his PAP membership, but it was known that he was the PAP
representative in the former Government.
Since a new situation was created following the [capital city] Yerevan
Council of Elders election [which was conducted on May 5] and another
role will be assigned to PAP, it was assumed that Tsarukyan should
give up his [National] Security Council membership.
[But] to remind, after not being included in the coalition
[government], Tsarukyan not only did not leave NSC, but, as an NSC
member, he sees off or welcomes [President] Serzh Sargsyan when he
heads to, or returns from, a country,' Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
