Armenian media report that Armenian citizens in the near future will witness "sleaze, financial and criminal prosecution... A rat race, and many other phenomena that have no connection with politics, but will accompany further political events," referring to a campaign now being initiated by President Serzh Sargsyan against the leader of the Prosperous Armenia party, Gagik Tsarukyan.
Recall that Sargsyan described Tsarukyan as “evil in the political sphere of Armenia, which it was time to eradicate," remembering missed sessions of Parliament, and shadow economic activity, and rumors of "creating professional criminal mechanisms."
In response, Gagik Tsarukyan has spoken about the error of the authorities and Sargsyan himself both in foreign and in domestic politics, blaming them for the severe socio-economic situation in the country.
Simultaneously, Tsarukyan claimed that he would not fight Sargsyan alone, and that evening he held talks with the leader of the Armenian National Congress, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, in the presence of deputies from PAP Naira Zohrabyan, Vartan Oskanyan, Stepan Margaryan and members of the ANC Aram Manukyan and Levon Zurabyan.
In the near future he intends to meet with the leadership of the Heritage party.
Experts immediately drew attention to the fact that, immediately after the speech by Sargsyan, ex-president Robert Kocharyan urgently returned to Yerevan from Kiev.
Official representatives of Kocharian rejected this connection, but they do not exclude the possibility that the second president of the republic will soon make a statement regarding the attack by Sargsyan on Tsarukyan.
