ArmInfo. The Armenian people want and demand Gagik Tsarukyan, the ex-leader of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), to return to the political field, Vahe Enfiajyan, a member of PAP Faction told a news conference in Yerevan.
In his words, the people in Vanadzor, Gyumri and other towns and communities in Armenia believe in Tsarukyan's activity to change the political situation and are encouraged with his kindness. "The final decision rests upon Tsarukyan, of course," Enfiajyan said.
In response to the question as to whether anything has changed after Tsarukyan left the political field through the combined efforts of the Republican Party and President Serzh Sargsyan, Enfiajyan said: "He did not want bloodshed. Even the members of Sasna Tsrer group that risked and seized a police compound retreated eventually not to shed blood of innocent people. Tsarukyan did the same," the parliamentarian said.
To recall, after confrontation between Tsarukyan and President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan leader of Prosperous Armenia had to leave big-league politics. At the Feb 12 session of the Republican Party of Armenia Council, Serzh Sargsyan strongly criticized Tsarukyan for his "pseudo-political" activities and said that he is going to exclude Tsarukyan from the National Security Council. Sargsyan also touched on Tsarukyan's competence level and pointed out his failure to pay taxes.
