“Prosperous Armenia” has tipped the fate of the dwarf-party, say media
7 March 2015 – 2:57pm
The pace of the ‘unloading’ of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) was
expected, the newspaper ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ writes.
According to the newspaper, if this rate continues in the future the
party at the best case could turn into a dwarf-party, and at worst – a
party represented by a single person. The same goes for the PAP
faction in the National Assembly (parliament) of the country. Until
recently the faction held 36 seats in the National Assembly, but that
has now has fallen by a third, reports NEWS.am.
Thus, five deputies left in the faction are Grigory Margaryan, Melik
Manukyan, Martuni Grigoryan, Mushegh Petoyan and David Kocharyan.
Another seven of have left the party: Aragats Ahoyan, Karo Karapetyan,
Bazmaser Arakelyan, Rustam Gasparyan, Oskanian Harutyun Karagezyan and
Abraham Manukyan.
So at the moment the PAP faction actually consists of 24 deputies,
Haykakan Zhamanak sums up.
