The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) leader Gagik Tsarukyan's decision
to step down as the PAP leader and to renounce his deputy mandate is
not the authorities' victory over the opposition, Armen Martirosyan,
Deputy Chairman of the Heritage Party, has told ArmInfo.
"This is the authorities' victory of oppressive measures and illegal
actions over legitimacy, but not a victory over the opposition", says
Martirosyan. At the moment, he cannot predict the situation in the
domestic political field of Armenia in the near future. "However, what
has happened to the PAP and Tsarukyan is worth regretting", he says.
To note, at the March 5 congress of the PAP, Gagik Tsarukyan stepped
down as the PAP chairman. Naira Zohrabyan, the PAP Faction Secretary,
has become the PAP chairwoman. She has officially declared the party
as opposition.
