Russia`s Ambassador meets with MPs of Prosperous Armenia Party

Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo. Ambassador of Russia to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin met with members of Prosperous Armenia Party, Vice-Speaker of the RA Parliament Vahe Enfiajyan and Chairman of the Standing Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration Issues of the National Assembly, Mikayel Melkumyan.

According to the press service of the Russian diplomatic mission, the  meeting was held at the Russian Embassy. "During the conversation,  the parties discussed the development of Russian-Armenian inter-  parliamentary relations, the assistance to Russia in the fight  against coronavirus infection provided to Armenia both in a bilateral  format and within the framework of general integration associations.  The parliamentarians also shared their vision of some aspects of the  host country's internal political agenda",  it is noted in the  message of the diplomatic mission.

As ArmInfo previously reported, on June 14 the National Security  Service conducted surches in the mansion of the oligarch and leader  of the Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan, after which he was  summoned for interrogation by the NSS. Law enforcement authorities  suspect him of illegal entrepreneurial activity in the field of  gambling, as a result of which the state was damaged in the amount of  $ 60 million, as well as in bribery of voters in 2017 and illegal  appropriation of land in the village of Arinj, Kotayk region. On June  16, the Armenian Parliament approved the motion of the Prosecutor  General of Armenia Artak Davtyan to deprive Tsarukyan of his  parliamentary immunity and bring him as the accused in a criminal  case, up to and including imprisonment. The head of the PAP said that  he continues to consider the criminal case against him a political  persecution, and that he has no connection with the management of the  companies attributed to him. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
