Vardan Lazarian, Secretary of the "People’s Party of Armenia"
presented an appeal to the regional organization of Shengavit that
he was leaving the party. "That was my choice, I want to cease my
party activities", explained Vardan Lazarian.
Stepan Zakaryan is also tired of politics. He stated that the
opposition was defeated: "No one rigged or stuffed the elections;
the nation sold its votes".
Stepan Zakaryan who is disappointed in methods of political fight
does not exclude that he may also leave the party.
Stepan Demirchyan, Head of the "People’s Party of Armenia" refused
to comment on his friends’ deed.
Ruzan Khachtryan, press secretary of the party, informed that their
step annoyed the party members.
"Some members of the party became deputies owing to the efforts of
ordinary parties and their annoyance can be understood".
To our question whether Mkrtchayn and Zakaryan were against the
formation of the Block, Mrs Khachtryan noted: "They were against
it. But it is not a problem.
The elections were rigged and the party did not enter the NA."
By the way, Stepan Demirchyan was astonished by Stepan Zakaryan’s
intention while Ruzan Khachtryan was not.
