ArmInfo.The transformation of the leader of "Prosperous Armenia" Gagik Tsarukyan into a political martyr clearly does not proceed from the interests of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. ArmInfo political strategist Armen Badalyan expressed this opinion.
"In this light, I don't expect any special pressure on the party and Mr. Tsarukyan personally. If Tsarukyan really violated the Constitution, then, of course, he should be deprived of his deputy's mandate. step ". Over the past year, it has finally become clear that the repressive methods clearly do not fit into the political arsenal of Pashinyan and his immediate environment. Moreover, there is no reason to waste our high rating in the now unnecessary fight against" Prosperous Armenia "has no Pashinyan," the political consultant is convinced.
The question of the presence of business in the National Assembly of Armenia has once again become the focus of public attention through the efforts of the party "Citizen Decision". On April 29, Secretary of the party's executive body Suren Sahakyan sent a statement to Armenian Prosecutor General Arthur Davtyan about the need to initiate criminal proceedings against Prosperous Armenia Party leader, MP Gagik Tsarukyan. The reason for the statement was the suspicion of illegal entrepreneurial activity by the deputy Tsarukyan. Sahakyan also sent a statement to RA NA President Ararat Mirzoyan with a request to take appropriate actions in pursuance of Art. 157 of the law <Regulations of the National Assembly>, in particular, to appeal to the Constitutional Court of Armenia on the issue of termination of powers of a deputy in case of violation of the requirements of Article 95 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia.
According to Badalyan, representatives of the Decision of the Citizen party, who did not go to parliament in the last elections, thus simply decided to loudly declare themselves. Having started up in the media and the public agenda the idea of bringing Tsarukyan to responsibility and depriving him of his deputy's mandate, they are trying to attract public attention. However, the authorities rummage in the past Tsarukyan and his party, according to the forecasts of the political consultant, will not. Today, they simply do not need it, especially since any pressure will only enhance the image of Tsarukyan.
