Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, has lost
his post as a member of the National Security Council of Armenia
and chairman of the council of the Physical Education and Sports
Institute aftet being condemned by President Serzh Sargsyan. Speaker
of Parliament Galust Saakyan has filed a note to the CEC demanding the
party leader's dismissal from the parliament. Armen Ashotyan, deputy
head of the Republican Party, the minister for education and science,
has accused Tsarukyan of declaring war on the country and called him an
oligophrenic, a threat to the country, a project created in 2004-2005.
Andrey Areshev, the editor-in-chief of Kavkazoved.info, an expert of
the Strategic Culture Foundation, noted that the internal political
struggle in Armenia was escalating. He reminded that the Prosperous
Armenia Party had organized a series of mass protests in October 2014.
The expert doubts that Tsarukyan's case will have any serious
repercussions.
Alexander Markarov, the director of the Armenian branch of the
Institute of CIS Countries, said that the Republican Party was trying
to determine the development of events in light of the upcoming
elections. He reminded about proposals to start constitutional reform
that would switch to the parliamentary republic, the Prosperous
Armenia Party is opposed to the reform. Markarov considers the attack
on Tsarukyan an attempt by the Republican Party to influence the
political process as a whole.
Aram Manukyan, an MP of the Armenian National Congress, associates the
case with the tense political, economic and social situation. Manukyan
admitted that the Armenian National Congress will encourage the
population to demand early elections. Concerning rumours that Sargsyan
is actually struggling with second President Robert Kocharyan, backed
by Tsarukyan, Areshev proposed waiting for an official response from
Kocharyan. He reminded that the ex-president was not a member of
any party, though many agreed that he was one of the people standing
at its origins. The expert added that it was too hasty to speculate
about Kocharyan's return to politics. Manukyan believes that Kocharyan
plays absolutely no role in the current internal political situation
and has nothing to do with the current developments.
