“Not political methods, but exclusively those based on own interests
and ambitions of certain politicians are used on Armenian political
field,” Chairman of Armenian Democratic Party, MP Aram Sargsyan stated
at a news conference.
According to him, leaving of coalition Orinats Yerkir (OYe) Party
by four MPs-businessmen is a vivid evidence of this. “Those forces,
which will powerfully struggle during parliamentary elections tomorrow,
and later during presidential ones too, are interested in weakening
of OE positions. For example, they are Republican Party (leader –
Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan, REGNUM), ‘Flourishing Armenia’
(founder – well-known businessman, MP Gagik Tsarukyan, REGNUM),”
the MP stated.
At the same time, Aram Sargsyan did not exclude that “rat escape”
will continue: “At their time, the people joined the party not because
of ideas, but hoping to receive benefit. Such MP is worth nothing,
he will be worth nothing in other possible camp too.”
It is worth stressing that four MP’s, who are at the same time big
businessmen, left coalition Orinats Yerkir Party during last several
days. It is expected that other businessmen, who are still the party
members, will leave it because of sharply changed political views
of OYe leader Artur Bagdasaryan, as well as inner disagreements in
foreign and domestic policy.
