As a party, the present-day Prosperous Armenia party is “more
political” than the one led by Gagik Tsarukyan though is it common
knowledge it is going to be much weaker, political engineer Karen
Kocharyan told reporters on Friday.

“There are no political actors in Armenia,” he said. Populism is
dominating Armenia’s politics.

“Politics is not a charity, and it is not the Prosperous Armenia
party alone that is in question. Politics is turning into business,”
Mr Kocharyan said.

| A successful businessman was involved in politics and was suffering.

“I think he is happy now because he can do what he loves. Politics
has its rules of the game. He was so much told that he could that he
himself believed.”
