Heritage party leader not surprised with Tsarukyan's statement
19:15 - 19.05.13
The statement of the Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan
that he is not an opposition was not a surprise for the Heritage party
leader Raffi Hovannisian.
Speaking to reporters after the open civil discussion convened by him,
Hovanissian said they have met with Tsarukyan twice and he said about
it. `I have met with Mr Tsarukyan twice and he is one of the unique
persons who has always been frank with me and explained that he will
never be an opposition,' Hovanissian said.
Asked why he has not voiced about it, Heritage party leader said it
was a private meeting and the question should be forwarded to
Tsarukyan.
As to why the Armenian National Congress continues claiming that the
PAP is an opposition, Hovanissian said, `Each person has a right to
have his opinion. May be it is connected with the party, with separate
leaders. I cannot say why the ANC has such opinion, but I can just
suppose that there are or were inter-party or personal ties.'
Asked why he did not attend the consecration of St John the Baptist
Church, Hovanissian said he did not participate due to his business,
but will soon visit it.
Speaking about today's gathering and refusal of opposition to attend
it, Hovanissian said it is connected with the phase of review. `I
think the review lasts for a long, but I hope that in the coming weeks
the review will turn into creative solutions. I think each is trying
to go out of his shock. It will be good for each to overcome his pain
on its own and not blame others,' he said.
