The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) led by tycoon Gagik Tsarukyan for
the first time explicitly spoke about the need for a complete change of
power as its members participated in a joint rally with two opposition
parties in the country's third largest city of Vanadzor Monday evening.
The gathering was part of the non-governing trio's provincial campaign
drumming up popular support for a big joint public rally in Yerevan
later this week. Ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan's Armenian National
Congress (ANC) and former foreign minister Raffi Hovannisian's Heritage
are the two other forces taking part in the events.
Addressing supporters in Vanadzor, senior PAP member Naira Zohrabyan
stressed that while the three forces might have some different
opinions on different matters, in one matter they shared a common view:
"The current authorities are taking the country to its demise.
This government has led the country to an impasse and therefore it
must go."
Like during the previous rallies in Abovyan, Hrazdan, Sisian, Kapan,
Ararat and Ijevan, speakers at the event in Vanadzor leveled harsh
criticism at the government over its socio-economic policies. They
also spoke against the need for constitutional changes in the country
at this moment.
"Our problem is not in a faulty Constitution, our problem is in a
faulty government that thinks about ways of extending its anti-national
policies by another decade by means of constitutional changes,"
Zohrabyan stressed.
Members of the PAP, ANC and Heritage urged people of Vanadzor to
support them also at the October 10 rally in Yerevan.
The trio of parliamentary minority parties will make their last
provincial trip as part of the current campaign to Gyumri on Wednesday.
