    DISTRACTION?: PAP SAYS ATTACK ON TSARUKYAN TAKES FOCUS OFF BIGGER GOVERNMENT CONCERNS

    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.
