YEREVAN. – Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan returned from Dubai on Tuesday, Zhoghovurd daily reports.

“According to eyewitnesses, around eight jeeps welcomed Tsarukyan [at the airport]. He, accompanied by his bodyguards, [first] went to Abovyan Stone Factory [which he owns] and, after staying there for several minutes, he went out.  

But in an interview with us, the PAP leader’s spokeswoman Iveta Tonoyan noted that Tsarukyan did not go to the stone factory [at all]. ‘Gagik Tsarukyan has never traveled—and will not travel—around with eight jeeps. Mr. Tsarukyan returned to the country approximately thirty minutes ago and, now, he is heading to [his] home,’ [she said.] 

In any case, it is a fact that Tsarukyan has returned, and the [ruling Republican Party] RPA, which is waiting for Tsarukyan’s ‘yes’ [on supporting President Serzh Sargsyan in next year’s presidential elections] holding its breath, can slowly breathe easily,” Zoghovurd writes.
