YEREVAN. – Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is not discussing the issue of joining coalition in the government, PAP MP Tigran Urikhanyan said in a statement.

He informed about yesterday’s meeting of Serzh Sargsyan with Gagik Tsarukyan during which the latter “voiced the same problems and views that were declared during the previous meetings”.

“PAP is not discussing becoming a part of coalition government. It’s not on our agenda,” he said. 

Besides, PAP reiterated its position on opposing constitutional reform saying there is need for economic changes.

“Finally, Gagik Tsarukyan voiced the problems of public concern that require immediate solution, among them mandatory pension plan, the problems of surveillance cameras and parking, the problem of reducing fines, loan interest rates – that is the problems that have led to social tension,” the statement reads.  

Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan handed over resignation on April 3. Hovik Abrahamyan was nominated as new prime minister on Sunday following the meetings in the office of ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
