Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun: Gagik Tsarukyan forces 8 PAP members to renounce their mandates as MPs

According to Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun, Prosperous Armenia’s leadership is strained these days.

“Party’s leader Gagik Tsarukyan lost his temper after newly admitted PAP members said they objected to PAP’s being part of coalition while old members supported the idea of forming a coalition with RPA because they fear losing their current portfolios. Therefore Tsarukyan forced 8 members to apply to CEC and to renounce their mandates as MPs. In particular, the names of ministers Harutyun Kushkyan and Vardan Vardanyan as well as Ruben Gevorgyan (Tsaghik Rubo) were circulating yesterday,” the paper says.
