The President's harsh comments and accusations toward Prosperous
Armenia Party (PAP) leader Gagik Tsarukyan have stirred unrest within
the party, while members of the "alternative" party say that the
government should be focusing on greater matters of concern rather
than trying to bring down Tsarukyan.
PAP faction MP Mikayel Melkumyan told reporters on Monday that the
party's activities were solely oppositional; they moved along the
path with no turbulence, however, these latest events will accelerate
their activities.
"At the (Republican Party of Armenia) meeting there was not a word
about the country's grave social state; are they trying to distract
people's attention? Is Gagik Tsarukyan to be blamed that there are
no investments in Armenia, that there are more than a million poor
people in Armenia, is Gagik Tsarukyan to be blamed that there is
officially 20 percent of unemployment . . ."
Melkumyan said, adding that there is an exceptional chance now to
follow the people's desire.
Christian-Democratic Renaissance party leader Sos Gimishyan spoke
about the situation saying that it is the first time he does not
agree with either side, he believes in neither the government nor
the other side and even sees a political game in this situation.
"One side said that this is the evil, the other one - the opposite,
they had the government in their hands together once, and today's state
is the result of those years. I do not exclude the option that this is
a political game, an attempt to clarify the political field between
the two forces, and behind these political forces I can clearly see
Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan," Gimishyan said.
Melkumyan dismissed the statement as "nonsense".
Gimishyan said that the two sides with their actions made the situation
in the country tense, which, on the background of current geopolitical
processes, is unnecessary for the country.
