Makeyan: Tsarukyan will not play any role in political life
Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) led by Gagik Tsarukyan has never been an independent political force: oligarchs cannot be independent, Petros Makeyan, the chairman of Democratic Homeland Party, said during a press conference today.
According to the politician, BHK leader Gagik Tsarukyan in the past year “got out of control” of former President Robert Kocharyan and the current head of state Serzh Sargsyan and for that reason they ‘sidelined’ him.
Makeyan noted that BHK Party will continue to exist without G. Tsarukyan. “Prosperous Armenia Party will continue to exist. It will be used as the second largest political force in the upcoming elections,” Petros Makeyan said.
As regards Tsarukyan himself, he will no longer play any role in Armenia’s political life, according to P. Makeyan.
