Prime Minister of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan tries to save the Prosperous
Armenian Party (PAP) that is due to collapse. His 'envoys' are now
persuading some leading representatives of the Party not to leave to.
According to the Haykakan Zhamanak Daily, Abrahmyan pins hopes with
PAP, since it may help him ensure strong positions in the power
hierarchy during the election processes in 2017-2018. The paper
writes that ex-leader of PAP Gagik Tsarukyan, in turn, tries to wreck
Abrahamyan's plans. Tsarukyan actively works with his former party-men
to make them leave the party. Tsarukyan seeks revenge against his
relative Hovik Abrahamyan after the prime minister openly slammed him
after the notorious meeting of the Republican Party Executive Board.
Then Abrahamyan warned that Tsarukyan would be responsible for possible
domestic policy tensions in the country.
To recall, speaking at the Republican Party Council meeting on
February 12, Serzh Sargsyan levered harsh criticism at Tsarukyan for
his 'pseudo-political' activity, saying he would be excluded from the
Security Council, because "the supreme security body of the country
is not a cinema where one can come and leave when he wants." The
president blamed Tsarukyan for non- competence and for tax evasion.
