YEREVAN. – Zhamanak newspaper has learned that opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) former Chairman, tycoon, and MP Gagik Tsarukyan will return to Armenia next Monday, and he immediately will start discussions—with political, business, and social circles—on his possible return to politics, reported the newspaper.

“[But] Tsarukyan does not intend to return to politics as the PAP leader, but rather, he plans to become the leader of a pan-Armenian body that is beyond [political] party, a part of which the PAP also can become.

“Tsarukyan [also] intends to have a private conversation with [President] Serzh Sargsyan regarding his plans on returning [to politics],” wrote Zhamanak.
