At tomorrow's congress of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), Gagik
Tsarukyan will announce his decision to not only step down as the PAP
chairman but also to renounce his deputy mandate, Mikayel Melkumyan,
parliamentarian from the PAP, told journalists.
He said that ex-foreign minister of Armenia Vartan Oskanian will also
renounce his mandate. Melkumyan added that at the March 5 congress
the PAP will finally determine its political stand.
PAP Faction Secretary Naira Zohrabyan will become the chairperson
of the party. Other members of Prosperous Armenia, particularly, MPs
Martun Grigoryan and Abraham Manukyan are also expected to officially
leave the PAP.
MPs Grigory Margaryan, Rustam Gasparyan, Melik Manukyan, Harutyun
Karagyozyan, Aragats Akhoyan and Karo Karapetyan have already left the
party. To note, the current situation is the result of discord between
the PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
Tsarukyan and Sargsyan had a "reconciliation meeting" and the
"reconciliation" price was Tsarukyan's withdrawal from the political
arena.
