Sargsyan lashes out at Tsarukyan, defends constitutional reform
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) leader Gagik Tsarukyan says President
Serzh Sargsyan is "declaring war" by comments the president made
challenging Tsarukyan's legitimacy as a political figure. Tsarukyan
says that he is an obstacle to Sargsyan's ambition to "rule for life"
(through possible constitutional changes) and that Sargsyan will try
to remove him.
"That is his plan. Moving forward I must say that I accept the
challenge and I will fight till victory," Tsarukyan said at the PAP
political council meeting, after he was called "evil" and a "pseudo
political phenomenon" by Sargsyan.
Not answering Sargsyan's Thursday keynote speech directly, Tsarukyan
addressed the social-economic problems the country is facing, claiming
that there is only one solution for them.
"There has been a situation since yesterday which demands resolution.
I am sure that the only resolution is complete change of government
by means of early presidential elections."
In order to achieve change of government and victory Tsarukyan urged
his team members to prepare for the fight.
"If the whole population takes to the streets, the government will
change. I now call for an all-Armenian mobilization with one goal by
all legal political methods - constant rallies, marches, protests,
unrest, to reach Serzh Sargsyan's resignation - to get rid of the
rule of this evil."
The PAP leader repeated his popular slogan once again "Our word is
a deed" and said that the biggest mission of his life now is the
task of removing the current ruling regime. "This government must be
dismissed immediately, and we must close this miserable and shameful
page of our history."
Later on Friday the PAP leader will meet Armenian national Congress
(ANC) head Levon ter-Petrosyan and Heritage Party head Raffi
Hovannisian to discuss future actions.
