Armenian National Congress leader seeks involve PAP leader in politics
not as oligarch - Ashot Manucharyan
14:03 * 09.03.14
Opposition political figure Ashot Manucharyan cannot explain the
reasons for Armenian National Congress (ANC) party leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan drawing parallels between Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP)
Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan and former Georgian Premier Bidzina
Ivanishvili.
Manucharyan objects to any wealthy person's involvement in the government.
Manucharyan believes that Ter-Petrosyan appeals to Tsarukyan as leader
of an influential political force.
"My stance is that any wealthy person, a businessman has no right to
hold a government post. Otherwise, it results in oligarchic rule. In
fact, such a system has been formed in Armenia," Manucharyan said.
However, Ter-Petrosyan is speaking in the context of reality: there is
a political force that must be involved in political processes.
"Tsarukyan is now viewed as leader of an influential political force
rather than an oligarch," Manucharyan said.
As to the fact that most political forces see Armenia's ex-president
Robert Kocharyan behind the PAP, Manucharyan said:
"I think that Tsarukyan may be the one feeling the most intense hatred
for Kocharyan because being so strongly dependent is a heavy burden
for a person."
