Yerevan May 5
Ani Mshetsyan. During the last meeting of the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia, which lasted very long, Serzh Sargsyan was very excited. The newspaper “Hraparak” reports.
At the meeting, Sargsyan spoke very briefly and said that, based on the precarious situation in the country, one should not obstruct the election of a candidate for a premiere, which would be nominated by 1/3 of the deputies. Some of the RPA representatives opposed, to which Serzh Sargsyan stated: “We have no other way out. People surrounding Nikol Pashinyan will soon become a problem for him.”
After that the vice-speakers of the National Assembly Eduard Sharmazanov and Arpine Hovhannisyan together with Sargsyan went to the cabinet of the Speaker of the Parliament Ara Babloyan in order to write the text of the statement of the RPA faction, according to which the party will support the candidate for premieres nominated by 1/3 of the deputies.
Zhamanak newspaper reports that Serzh Sargsyan met with Gagik Tsarukyan, Khachatur Sukiasyan and Ishkhan Zakaryan yesterday. This meeting is interesting because during the elections of the Prime Minister on April 17, then Serzh Sargsyan, the candidate for premieres, said that if the sleeping volcanoes are not awaken, the situation in the country will stabilize. According to the newspaper, saying “sleeping volcanoes”, Sargsyan had in mind Gagik Tsarukyan and Ishkhan Zakaryan. Sargsyan hinted that he knew who was behind Pashinyan’s movement and who was financing it.
