ARMENIAN DM PLANNED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON LEADER OF PROSPERING ARMENIA: NU LEADER
Yerevan, January 15. ArmInfo. The decision to form the Prospering
Armenia party, led by the president of Multi-Group Concern, MP,
businessman Gagik Tsaroukyan, was made when it became known that
Armenian Defense Minister Serzh Sargsyan was planning an assassination
attempt against Tsaroukyan, says the leader of the National Unity
party Artashes Gegamyan.
He says that Sargsyan's plan was disclosed by the supporters of
Tsaroukyan. When President Kocharyan learned the news he organized a
meeting of Sargsyan and Tsarukyan in his residence - it was a kind
of confrontation. This was followed by the unexpected dismissal of
National Security Chief Karlos Petrossian and the hasty redeployment
of the business of Sargsyan's brother Alexander Sargsyan to the UK and
the US. These events have shown once again how dangerous Sargsyan can
be if in power. That's exactly why Tsarukyan decided to form his party.
Gegamyan says that the present authorities are real "dark knights"
but they have committed all crimes and murders they could and can no
longer scare the opposition.
At the same time, Gegamyan is skeptical of the official number of
Prospering Armenia members - 400,000 people. "Even the census was
not carried out as quickly as they counted their members," says
Gegamyan and notes that, however big member armies they might have,
neither Prospering Armenia nor Republican Party will be able to win
the elections unless they give objective information about the real
situation in the country.
