TO TAKE OLIGARCHS AWAY TO MEAN HAVING 1-2 MPS AND EMPTY CABINET - SOS GIMISHYAN
17:00 / 16.02.2015
There is no political fight in Armenia, there are just arrangements
behind the stage, chairman of the Christian-Democratic Revival party
Sos Gimishyan told the reporters on Monday. In his words there is no
mandate in the NA given without the consent of Serzh Sargsyan.
Referring to the statements as if PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan is
avoiding paying taxes, Gimishyan stressed that al oligarchs do so. "It
sounds strange that the authorities voice this issue as there are
many people among them who avoid paying taxes," he said.
Gimishyan said his wish is to see only political figures in the field.
"If the oligarchs are taken away from the NA, just one-two MPs will
stay there and the cabinet will be empty," he stressed, adding that
the change of power is a must here but without blows.
"I consider Gagik Tsarukyan quite successful economic figure but not
political one. I hope it is not order from outside and no Maidan will
take place here. I think it will not last long, but I would like to
be mistaken and this political fight be just," he said.
PAP MP Michael Melkumyan said that their team was not going to enter
the field of personal offences. "These processes must enter civilized
field. Is Gagik Tsarukyan guilty that no investments are being made
in Armenia, or that the unemployment rate is high," he said, adding
that the PAP was opposition but wanted to make the changed gradually
without blows, but the recent developments accelerated the process.
"We have chosen the path of snap elections. One thing was not taken
into consideration - the people are ignored. The people mobilized over
non-governmental forces, over Gagik Tsarukyan. The authorities saw
that there is no corridor for reaching arrangement over Constitutional
changes which resulted in the created situation," he said.
The PAP MP said that the people are by their side. Asked whether
Armenia's second president Robert Kocharyan is engaged in the process,
Melkumyan said, "Robert Kocharyan is periodically coming up with his
concerns and observations. He is concerned with the situation in the
country but I cannot say whether he is in the process or not."
