YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The Bargavach Hayastan
(Prosperous Armenia) Party was founded after the attempt upon Gagik
Tsarukian's life being prepared by Defence Minister Serge Sargsian
was disclosed. National Unity Party Chairman Artashes Geghamian
declared this at the January 15 press conference referring
to "rumors going persistently." It was mentioned that for the
purpose of killing G.Tsarukian, S.Sargsian had applied to a hired
assassin. In A.Geghamian's words, these incidents show how dangerous
can be S.Sargsian's possible victory at the forthcoming presidential
elections, and as a result a decision was made to create a political
force as a counterbalance to RPA.
In A.Geghamian's words, after preparation for the attempt upon
G.Tsarukian's life failed, R.Kocharian organized a "confrontation"
between S.Sargsian and G.Tsarukian, after which Head of National
Security Service of that time, Karlos Petrosian was dismissed from
his post and S.Sargsian's brother, RA MP Alexander (Sashik) Sargsian
had to move his "construction activities" to Great Britain and U.S.
