Raising the Stakes: Sargsyan ushers in new political conditions by
tackling former coalition partner
The Deputy Chairman of Heritage Party, Armen Martirosyan, told
reporters Friday that President Serzh Sargsyan's comments about
Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan were inappropriate.

Martirosyan, standing in for party chair Raffi Hovannisian who was
called to a meeting with Tsarukyan, told media that the president's
attack of Tsarukyan changed the process of political developments.
"Political processes have changed; they gain speed and Armenia's
government might speed up, Armenia becoming a North Korea might speed
up, I do not know which direction we will choose. Discussions will show
what will happen," Martirosyan said adding that on February 18 is "the
second anniversary of false presidential elections, and that day Raffi
Hovanissian will meet the reporters, on the occasion of the second
anniversary he will make a speech and answer questions completely."
According to Martirosyan, it is difficult for him to say what made
Sargsyan speak as he did, but he thinks that the government gets
nervous only when the matter refers to "the preservation of their
rule".
"Our government gets nervous in relation to neither foreign problems
nor internal affairs; we have never witnessed the government getting
nervous because of the country's horrible social-economic state,
they do get nervous when it is about their rule," Martirosyan said
adding that Sargsyan's words were everything but politics.
