YEREVAN. – Leader of the Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan does not agree with the critics who claim party members are banned from talking to journalists.

Speaking during the Monday briefing in parliament, Tsarukyan said a leader has not the right to ban his team and supporters from making comments.

“Secondly, with regard to Naira Zohrabyan, I want to reiterate that if you follow her ativities in the European Parliament, you will see outstanding work towards protecting the interests of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,” he told reporters.

Asked why his party is inactive, Tsarukyan said that no party leader has the right to go on vacation, as the parties have committed themselves to the people and the voters.

“I ​​believe that the people are faced with too many unresolved problems, so the decision-makers cannot take a vacation. The most important thing is that we do work, and your question is irrelevant. I always tell lawmakers that they must be able to communicate with people, because they are responsible for the people or issues of concern that need to be resolved,” he noted.

He informed about a working group formed within the party to deal with the structural and policy changes.
