Leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Gagik Tsarukyan in his
speech at the PAP Political Council 'unveiled' the real reasons of
President Serzh Sargsyan's anger and criticism at him. The president
harshly criticized Tsarukyan at the February 12 meeting of the
Republican Party Council.
"I want to play hand and be honest. The reason of the known person's
surge of emotions is my refusal to accept his numerous suggestions
implying assistance in retention of power and his government-for-life
through a constitutional referendum. I was offered many options of
cooperation - which were quite favorable for me - including the post of
the president after the constitutional reform, subject to my assistance
in his endeavors to retain power. I rejected that anti-national offer,
because a man who has brought the country to a social and economic
regress cannot have such ambitions. This is what made him violate all
the human and political norms. This is the reality," Tsarukyan said.
As for his exclusion from the National Security Council, Tsarukyan
said he had not worked there de-facto for already 6 months and did
not leave officially just because Sargsyan asked him not to leave.
"Now, you are free to assess yesterday's performance. As for RPA's
initiative to deprive me of the deputy mandate, I'd like to say that
I care for the people's confidence and I have that most important
mandate for me," Tsarukyan said.
He believes that Sargsyan's goal is to liquidate him as an obstacle
from his way towards lifetime government. "I am taking on his
challenges and will be fighting till final victory," he said.
