Petros Makeyan, Chairman of the Democratic Homeland party and member
of the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC), believes
the recent disagreements within the ANC are the result of cooperation
with the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP).

Disagreements within a political force that once set the agenda and
is now an appendage to the PAP should be expected, he said.

“Last September-October, the ANC began serving the PAP. As a result,
it received the 7% in the parliamentary elections,” Mr Makeyan told
Tert.am.

In response to the report by the Zhoghovurd daily that money is
the real cause of the disagreements, Mr Makeyan said: “During the
parliamentary elections the ANC nominated its candidates in almost all
the constituencies, which means large funds. Most of the ANC candidates
had no personal funds. At that time I asked why they were nominated
in the constituencies if there was lack of funds. That’s all.”

With respect to his allegedly strained relations with ANC Coordinator
Levon Zurabyan, Mr Makeyan said that he has always been on good terms
with Mr Zurabyan. They sometimes have disagreements over work.
