YEREVAN. – The statement by Prosperous Armenia leader Gagik Tsarukyan “was rather political and humane”, head of RPA parliamentary group Vahram Baghdasaryan said.
“Gagik Tsarukyan realized why he is provoked, and it's good that he personally realized the essence of his own calls for nationwide rally. I am happy to see that he acted with composure and made this statement,” he told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As reported earlier, speaking at the February 12 meeting of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Board, President Serzh Sargsyan slammed Gagik Tsarukyan calling him “an evil for the state”.
On Tuesday, however, Serzh Sargsyan and Gagik Tsarukyan held a brokered talk, and on Wednesday, the PAP leader issued a statement. “(…). To solve the existing problems in Armenia, we need not wage war against each other, but work calmly, without insulting each other, show all existing shortcomings, find solutions and implement them (…). [But] I note with regret that, during the last few days, the processes in our country are going in a completely different course; this direction leads to no place good (…). We cannot continue like this (…). Not crossing the boundary of reason is the task of both the authorities and the opposition. All problems must be solved in a peaceful, lawful, [and] political way,” Gagik Tsarukyan’s statement specifically ran.
