YEREVAN. - Prosperous Armenia Party National Assembly (PAP NA) Faction
member Murad Guloyan, who is also the in-law of PAP ex-Chairman Gagik
Tsarukyan, is leaving the party, Guloyan himself toldArmenian
News-NEWS.am.
The deputy, however, will continue his activities within the PAP NA
Faction, but as an independent MP, albeit he may also quit the faction
in the future.
Guloyan noted that he has no problems with the newly elected PAP
Chairperson, Naira Zohrabyan.
As for the PAP now working as an opposition political force, he simply
responded: "We will see."
To note, Murad Guloyan's son Karapet Guloyan, who is the mayor of
Abovyan city, had already announced about quitting the PAP.
As reported earlier, speaking at the February 12 meeting of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Board, President Serzh Sargsyan, who
is also chairman of the RPA Board, had stated that then-PAP Chairman,
MP and oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan had become a vice for the country as a
political player. He also relieved the PAP leader from his status as a
National Security Council member, and promised that a process will
begin in connection with Tsarukyan's frequent absence from the
parliament sessions.
In response to President Sargsyan's remarks, Gagik Tsarukyan issued a
statement, on February 13, noting that the incumbent authorities must
be removed from power immediately. In addition, he urged to achieve
Serzh Sargsyan's resignation by way of lawful political methods.
On February 17, however, Serzh Sargsyan and Gagik Tsarukyan held a
brokered talk, and on the next day, the then-PAP leader issued a
milder statement. He also called off the rally that was slated for
February 20.
And on Thursday, March 5, Tsarukyan announced that he is quitting
active politics, PAP National Assembly Faction Secretary Naira
Zohrabyan was elected new leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, and
she declared the latter--which had been a non-pro-government force--an
opposition party.
