PAP could have found its place in opposition field if it wanted - Heritage rep
12:50 - 15.05.13
Prosperous Armenia party leader's grounding that his party has no need
to become opposition for 3-4 such parties already existing, is not
convincing for the Heritage party political secretary Styopa Safaryan.
`It is not the reason at all. Prosperous Armenia is a party of big
capital which yes, in a country like Armenia, cannot become an
opposition. And the real reason of it is that not the big number of
opposition parties. It is just the matter of ideological field: the
ANC is in the extreme right liberation field, Heritage is in right
central liberal field and the PAP could have found its place if it
wanted,' Safaryan said, speaking to Tert.am.
PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan stated about it speaking to reporters after
the ceremony of consecration of the newly-built St John the Baptist
Church, in case when Vartan Oskanian, N1 in the party's Yerevan City
Council list, few days ago referred in his Facebook page to the
political situation created in Armenia and noted that at the September
sitting of the parliament the PAP should change its political status
and declare itself an opposition.
Referring to this, Safaryan advised to consider it a pre-election
statement aimed at attracting opposition electorate and as far as the
elections ended this issue does not exist anymore, Gagik Tsarukyan
gave a final response on where they are.
Safaryan said all should once again be convinced that the PAP cannot
be an opposition party.
Asked about the statement of the Armenian National Congress party
leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan at the party's first congress that Gagik
Tsarukyan is being cut from Serzh Sargsyan, Safaryan said he does not
know whether Ter-Petrosyan was mistaken or made wrong calculations or
it was beneficial for all.
Safaryan registered that all played against the people which he said
was a big plot in the period of elections.
