Gagik Tsarukyan leaves active politics and resigns as BHK Party leader
The chairman of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) Gagik Tsarukyan has announced his resignation as the leader of BHK Party and head of ‘Prosperous Armenia’ parliamentary faction.
“I took a decision not to engage in active politics anymore and to resign as leader of Prosperous Armenia Party and head of BHK parliamentary faction. It was not an easy decision, which was made after much consideration. Yet it was my personal decision,” Tsarukyan said at the extraordinary congress of the party today.
In his words, during his political activities he ‘has never pursued his own interests, but tried to find solutions to problems worrying the people by using various political ways”.
“I have always been against a ‘maidan’. I would never forgive myself if blood of even one innocent person was shed. It is beyond my strength. You should accept me as I am,” Tsarukyan said.
“I will continue to help my nation. I will build schools, churches, kindergartens, and help people engaged in science and culture. I ask you not to apply to me anymore about political problems, I will not interfere in your decisions. Henceforth I have nothing to do with Prosperous Armenia Party,” Tsarukyan noted.
He thanked fellow party members for joint work.
