Today’s explosions in the offices of the Prosperous Armenia party, like
the recent assassination attempt on Mayor of Gyumri Vardan Ghoukassyan,
are the direct evidence of the fact that the parliamentary election
are accompanied with serious domestic political processes, Galoust
Sahakyan, the head of the Republican Party’s faction, told ArmInfo
correspondent, Wednesday.

He emphasized that all these crimes will have a negative effect
on the spirits of the public on the threshold of the election. At
the same time he couldn’t tell the motive of the crime, stressing
that the law-enforcement agencies must answer this question. Saying
that this incident may become an object of political speculations,
G.Sahakyan said, "I don’t rule out that many forces will be tempted
to ascribe this incident to somebody, but I reiterate that the RPA
members have at least friendly relations with all the members of the
Prosperous Armenia party, moreover, we have no claims against either
this or any other parties," Sahakyan said in conclusion.

Condemning the explosions in the offices of the Prosperous Armenia
party, the Republican party of Armenia states that such steps are
directed against the Armenian nation and state and they are taken by
those forces which are not ready for fair political fight. The RPA
appeals to the country’s political forces not to yield to criminal
groupings’ provocation and to consolidate in the name of the election
complying with international standards. The party also appeals to
the law-enforcement agencies to be more alert at this fateful moment,
to prevent the attempts to destabilize the situation and to find and
punish the criminals with the utmost rigor of the law.

To note, explosions were committed in two offices of the Prosperous
Armenia this night. The investigation is underway.
