ArmInfo. The recent demands of "Prosperous Armenia" and other political forces for the resignation of the government, calls for consolidation, look ridiculously logical, a lawmaker of the parliamentary faction <My Step> Sos Avetisyan expressed such an opinion to ArmInfo.
''All these people somehow have to maintain their own political existence. Meanwhile, their understanding is that they are the ones who should rule in Armenia. Otherwise, they simply do not need Armenia. I can't say with whom and how they are going to consolidate, but the fact is that they all need to get united somehow. Moreover, the fact that the head of the PAP Tsarukyan and people like him used political capital to enrich themselves, and vice versa, still needs to be proved>, he said.
At the same time, the parliamentarian recalled that Tsarukyan's representation in the parliament didn't affect the presentation of charges against Sedrak Arustamyan, the director of Tsarukyan's Multi Group concern, for money laundering, bribery, etc. Avetisyan assured that a similar attitude will continue to be manifested in relation to any political force, in general, and in relation to the ruling force, in particular.
According to the parliamentarian, in the midst of a serious struggle against systemic corruption, even erroneous perception by society as an oligarch will not help anyone who violates the law. "Wealth and even various gilded things on oneself will not return the status of an oligarch to such a person. And, accordingly, they will not give him the privileges of the past. We must clearly understand this and realize that we must consider in this context all such outbursts of indignation and appeal>, he stressed.
Commenting on the recent resignations and appointments in the power bloc, Avetisyan ruled out the possibility of a conspiracy against the government. According to him, the authorities cannot feel the danger of counter-revolution and revenge from some groups. First of all, due to the fact that its foundation is a vote of confidence expressed by the people to the My Step faction. The latter, in turn, is a pillar for the current government.
<There is nothing and no one between the people, parliament and government. We turned this long page. But there are still people who are seized by unrealizable nostalgic moods and dreams of a "glorious past". People who are not able to perceive reality. It is from here that all these incomprehensible, but regular cries are formed and voiced. All this can cause only regret>, the parliamentarian summarized.
