Tuesday, February 17, 10:34
Leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Gagik Tsarukyan met with
Samvel Karapetyan, the owner of Tashir Group, and Karen Karapetyan,
the former-mayor of Yerevan, Vice President of Gazprombank Company,
overnight.
Sources close to the PAP told ArmInfo the businesspersons arrived from
Moscow with a special mission to reconcile Tsarukyan with President
Serzh Sargsyan to avoid further confrontation and domestic policy
tensions. The outcome of the negotiations is not known yet. The
Russian businesspersons, Armenians by origin, look to meet also with
President Serzh Sargsyan. There is no reliable information if the
president will receive them or not.
The latest speech of the president at the Republican Party Council
ratcheted up the domestic policy tensions in Armenia. The point
is that the president labeled PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan as "evil"
of the political system, ordered tax audits of the businesses owned
by Tsarukian's extended family and recommended that the opposition
figure be dismissed from his state posts and be stripped of his
parliamentary seat.
