Garnik Isagulyan, a former adviser to former President Robert Kocharyan
and currently leader of the National Security party, who was also a
close supporter of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), thinks that
the reason the PAP leader left the party was that he deserted by
other non-government aligned leaders.
Last week Gagik Tsarukyan announced is resignation as president of PAP,
following several days of a contentious "war of words" with President
Serzh Sargsyan.
"All the developments that took place during the last year, I
think were positive developments. There was a political monopoly in
Armenia, a second political pole was formed and those political forces
considered themselves opposition, a competition was created, and any
such internal political phenomenon creates positive developments,"
the PAP ally Isagulyan told reporters Tuesday.
According to Iasgulyan, Sargsyan's harsh criticism against Tsarukyan
made on February 12 is a violation of constitutional law.
"After February 12, Mr. Tsarukyan was left alone. Levon Ter-Petrosyan
wrote a letter to Serzh Sargsyan - this does not at all fit the events
of the period, and Raffi Hovannisian did not see it necessary to meet
Tsarukyan in person," he said.
And, in response to the question whether the National Security
party will henceforth support the PAP or not, he said that their
collaboration was connected with the person of Tsarukyan.
"If it turns out that the PAP continues the same program Gagik
Tsarukyan had, I am ready to support them," Isagulyan said.
