Hraparak: Everyone invited to official dinner except Minister of Sport

After the First Republic Day celebrations in Sardarapat, the ruling elite attended an official dinner at Vardavar Restaurant Complex, with Azat Gasparyan serving as a toastmaster, Hraparak writes. All Prosperous Armenia Ministers were attending the dinner except Minister of Sport Arthur Petrosyan, the paper says.

PAP members told Republicans during the dinner that they had learnt from newspapers that PAP had rejected coalition government. They said that Tsarukyan had told them that PAP would join the coalition and all Ministers would stay in their jobs except the Minister of Sport.

They don’t know what happened on the last day, especially as Gagik Tsarukyan left for Belarus without warning, immediately after making the statement on rejecting RPA’s offer to join coalition, whereas he was due to leave the day after, the paper writes.
