Tsarukyan Beats Retreat: PAP leader advocates "political way" of
solving problems
Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan
has called for "popular assistance and moral support" to his
embattled ally Gagik Tsarukyan after the tycoon and his political
team essentially abandoned their immediate plans to seek a regime
change amid a government crackdown launched against them.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Tsarukyan, the leader of the
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), said he advocated a "political way"
of settling disputes. Thus, he effectively ended a tense standoff with
President Serzh Sargsyan and his ruling Republican Party of Armenia
that began on February 12 when the head of state called Tsarukyan
"evil" and a "pseudo-political phenomenon" and called for his ouster
from politics.
Dozens of Tsarukyan loyalists were detained and their businesses were
inspected in the following days. The government also announced that
it will conduct a probe into allegations that Tsarukyan has hidden
large sums of money from the state budget "under the guide of charity".
In an article published through ilur.am on Thursday, Ter-Petrosyan
singled out a number of political mistakes made by Tsarukyan, in
particular his decisions not to go ahead with planned nonstop rallies
in April and October last year.
"Some of these mistakes reflect Tsarukyan's lack of political
experience, but the greater part of them were made because of a bunch
of troublemakers inside the PAP that are guided from a different
center and pursue a different program," Ter-Petrosyan said without
elaborating.
In conclusion of his article entitled "My Heart's Duty", the first
president of Armenia wrote: "The Armenian National Congress and I
have never forgotten the merit of any person or organization that have
done even a little service to the nation and the state no matter how
our relations with them turned out to be later on. So, I expect that
"my heart's duty" that I've expressed in this article will become
"the duty of the hearts" of all healthy political forces and all
honest citizens."
