VIKTOR SOGHOMONIAN: PRESIDENT POSITIVELY ESTIMATES SERGE SARGSIAN’S JOINING RPA

YEREVAN, JULY 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANDS TODAY. President Robert
Kocharian positively estimates the fact of RA Defence Minister,
Secretary of the National Security Council under RA President, Serge
Sargsian’s joining the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and heading
the party Board. President’s Spokesperson Viktor Soghomonian declared
this answering questions of Armenian media.

In the words of the President’s Spokesperson, "the joining of the
politician enjoying authority to RPA, as well as consolidation of
a number of other state figures is greeted and can have a positive
impact on the political sphere which is far from being perfect for
the present."

Viktor Soghomonian also emphasized that "we deal with a positive
phenomenon, especially if we remember that over the past years we
more often witnessed processes of parties’ splits than consolidation
of different political forces or individuals around an ideology."
