YEREVAN. – Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan said he is happy to open a new church and present it to the Armenian people.

On Tuesday Tsarukyan participated in the opening ceremony of Surb Hovhannes Mkrtich (John the Baptist) church built with his funds.

Gagik Tsarukyan noted that he had sent invitations to the first, second and third presidents as well as leader of the opposition Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian “with a goal to unite them all.”

Asked whether Prosperous Armenia will become the opposition, Tsarukyan said “the party cannot become the opposition.” There are 3-4 opposition parties, he said, adding that Prosperous Armenia is doing everything for the people, not for personal interests.

Last year Prosperous Armenia withdrew ruling coalition ahead of the May 6 parliamentary vote.
