Leader of the People's Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan is not surprised at the latest statement by Gagik Tsarukyan, Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party, who declared that his party will not become opposition. Demirchyan made such statement in a press conference, Thursday.
"Tsarukyan said nothing new. They have never declared themselves as opposition. As for the People's Party of Armenia, it has always said that cooperation with Prosperous Armenia is possible only if the party joins the opposition," he said.
As regards the split of Armenian National Congress (ANC) bloc, Demirchyan said that blocs are usually made to participate in elections. He confirmed the information that parliamentarians from ANC Nikol Pashinyan and Hrant Bagratyan do not attend the meetings of the faction. He believes that establishment of Armenian Pan-National Movement public organization and Armenian National Congress Party creates chaos in the political field.
"I cooperate with them, we have good relations, but similar names of the party and the bloc confuse both media and the public," he said.
