The authorities of Armenia are responsible not only for the incident
on beating up of a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party, activist
Artak Khachatryan, but also for the whole situation created in the
country, press-secretary of the PAP Gagik Tsarukyan, Iveta Tonoyan,
told Arminfo correspondent when commenting on Prime Minister Hovik
Abrahamyan's statement, according to which the possible escalation
of the domestic political situation in Armenia will rest with the
PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan.
'The atmosphere of injustice and indefiniteness has been reigning
in Armenia. The migration level has again grown. The economy is
depressed. And the authorities of Armenia are responsible for all
that. Actually, if one wants to learn, who is responsible and for
what, he should ask the community about it. I think that the answer
will be unequivocal", - Tonoyan concluded.
To note, the responsibility for possible escalation of the domestic
political situation in Armenia, as a result of the emotional and
irresponsible statements of members of the Prosperous Armenia Party,
will rest with the PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan, Armenia's Prime Minister
Hovik Abrahamyan said today when commenting on beating up of a member
of the PAP political council, Artak Khachatryan, and the ultimatum
statements of the PAP members after the incident.
Having recalled that Republican Party of Armenia has already condemned
the violence upon Artak Khachatryan, Abrahamyan emphasized that the
statements made by the PAP members after the incident are hasty, harsh
and unacceptable. "I expect that Gagik Tsarukyan should personally
watch the statements made by his party members and their emotional
nonsense, otherwise, we shall be forced to watch these statements as
Tsarukyan's personal position. In this case, the responsibility for
possible escalation of the domestic political situation in Armenia
will rest with Gagik Tsarukyan", - Abrahanyan said.
To note, members of the parliament from the PAP made ultimatum
statements during today's protest actions in front of the government
building and gave a term to the authorities to solve the incident on
beating up of Khachatryan for several days, otherwise the PAP will
demand resignation of several high rank officials.
According to the PAP representatives, Artak Khachatryan, a member of
the PAP Political Council, was abducted by the three unknown in masks
on February 7 in the evening. Several hours later, he was found near
his apartment severely beaten up. PAP has disseminated a statement
over the incident, wherein it strongly condemned the violence against
Khachatryan. The Party blames the political leadership of Armenia for
the incident that happened shortly after Khachatryan took an active
part in the protests against the Law on Turnover Tax.
