ArmInfo. In the political field of Armenia Gagik Tsaroukyan's Prosperous Armenia Party will occupy the place assigned by Serzh Sargsyan, Sergey Minasyan, the Caucasus Institute Director, states his opinion.
Gagik Tsaroukyan's statement, released on January 17, particularly states, that "he opens the closed page of political activity and he is intended to participate in the Parliamentary Elections on April 2." Tsaroukyan left the politics after he had contradictions with Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan, which became a reason for him to become an oppisitioner. But, according to the sources close to Presidential Staff, Tsaroukyan reached an agreement with Sargsyan to return to the political field and to consolidate with Republican party of Armenia after Parliamentary Elections of 2017.
"The political reincarnation of Tsaroukyan is described by the fact Armenian authorities should decrease the tension raised after April war and July rebellon. Within this logics Tsaroukyan will play the role of opposition governed by the rules of authorities."
According to Minasyan's estimations, Tsaroukyan has not only to settle emotions, but also to "borrow" some part of real electorate from the real opposition. Following Minasyan, Prosperous Armenia has all the necessary tools for that. First these are the appropriate branches in districts.
