ArmInfo."When Gagik Tsarukyan decided to return, he will replace Naira Zohrabyan on the posts of the leader and the head of the political council of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP). It is Naira Zohrabnyan's desire too," Vahe Enfiajyan, a parliamentarian from PAP, posted on Facebook.
It is noteworthy that Enfiajyan wrote "when" Tsarukyan decides to return, not "if." This means that the oligarch will be back to the political field, though no official statement has been made on it yet. ArmInfo's sources at PAP have confirmed the information saying Tsarukyan's return is coordinated with the top leadership of Armenia. According to the source, Tsarukyan's key mission is to create a coalition of his PAP with the ruling Republican Party and ARFD.
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.
