YEREVAN. – It turns out that the “brain centers” of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) are attempting to organize a visit, for PAP Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan, not solely to Brussels but to the US as well, Hraparak daily reports. 

“They are trying to set up representational meetings for Gagik Tsarukyan in the United States. [Opposition bloc Armenian National Congress] ANC likewise is taking part in this project, and, according to our sources, Gagik Tsarukyan will head to Washington after nominating his candidacy [for next February’s presidential elections in Armenia].      

Furthermore, there is a view that PAP will definitely convene a congress during which this will be declared.

PAP and ANC are thinking about setting up for Tsarukyan a meeting at least at the level of former US presidential candidate, Democrat [Senator] John Kerry.

Is Tsarukyan expected to visit the United States? We tried to verify [this] from his press secretary. ‘Such trip is not planned at this time,’ Iveta Tonoyan replied,” Hraparak writes.
