"The last decision of the Republican Party cannot become reason for
tension inside the party", leader of the Republican faction Galoust
Sahakyan informed "A1+". "I would not like to make the factor of Arman
an inner political problem. Of course the political powers try to do
so, but the party itself decides its own policy".

Galoust Sahakyan informed that "all the members of the Republican
party are ready to obey the decisions made by the Party". He said
that he does not consider putting forward Arman Sahakyan’s candidacy
for the post of the community head of Ajapnyak a political factor and
"is not going to organize political actions". "He is an independent
individual and I don’t think he must depend on my words. He knows that
he has to fight for reaching his aims and that I will support him".

Asked the question if Arman Sahakyan could not put forward his
candidacy in another community and enjoy the support of the party
without colliding with the Artsrun Khachatryan factor, Galoust Sahakyan
noted, "Arman Sahakyan’s candidacy is not against anyone. The fifth
generation of Sahakyan’s is living in Ajapnyak".
