Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan is the legal
successor of the government in place. Consequently, all the reasonable
political and public forces must prevent his coming to power, Tigran
Khzmalyan, former member of Pre-Parliament NGO, film director, told
reporters, on February 10.
"Tsarukyan does not conceal that his party is not in the opposition.
He may lose his restaurants, casinos, TV channel, all his property
overnight. However, he openly speaks against the system as he belongs
to it and has a permission to do so," Khzmalyan said. According to
him, Tsarukyan is just a reserve player who does not conceal his
ties with the second president Robert Kocharyan, whose interests,
as Khzmalyan believes, he protects. The film director is sure that
both Kocharyan and the ruling Republic Party of Armenia represent
Russia's interests at the expense of the national interests of
Armenia. "They have re- launched the process of power retention
against the public will," he said.
Garnik Isagoulyan, Leader of the National Security Party, in turn,
blamed the citizens for not fighting for their rights, which has
resulted in the current situation in the country. In this light, he
recommended Khzmalyan not to look for plots. Isagoulyan is sure that
Tsarukyan is not part of the ruling regime and really seeks radical
changes in the country. In this light, he recalled the February 5
meeting of the political forces and public organizations organized
by Tsarukyan.
It is noteworthy that the relations of the PAP and RPA have grown
tense recently. At the least meeting of the political forces and public
organizations, Tsarukyan promised large-scale rallies in Yerevan and
in the regions and blamed the authorities for the attack on Artak
Khachatryan, a member of the PAP political council.
Meanwhile, Armenia's Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan - who is
Tsarukyan's affiance - laid the responsibility for possible escalation
of the domestic political situation in Armenia on the PAP leader
Gagik Tsarukyan.
