YEREVAN. - The consequences of the Prosperous Armenia Party's (PAP)
recent visit to Brussels have reflected adversely not only on
Armenia's EU Head of Mission in Brussels, Ambassador Avet Adonts, but,
as Hraparak daily's sources inform, also on EU Advisor to Armenia's
National Assembly (NA), Eduardo Lorenzo Ochoa, the daily reports.
`According to our sources, PAP had primarily worked with EU
representative to Armenia, Traian Hristea [the EU Mission Chief to
Armenia] to organize the visit in the best way. But [PAP Chairman
Gagik] Tsarukyan's statement during the visit, according to which the
fight against corruption [in Armenia] is ineffective because those who
fight against it are corrupt [themselves], had angered Armenia's
authorities. As a result, pleasant Eduardo, who was solely a performer
in this play, sat on the `hot seat.'
At some point, he was even required to return to Brussels, on the
grounds that his tenure has come to an end, but since he had done a
lot in the NA-EU integration over the course of these years, it was
decided that he will stay at NA, but he will no longer work with the
[political] parties,' Hraparak writes.
