FORMER DEPUTIES LEAVE “PEOPLE’S PARTY OF ARMENIA”
Support A1+!Vardan Mkrtchyan, Secretary of the “People’s Party of Armenia” presented an appeal to the regional organization of Shengavit that he was leaving the party. “That was my choice, I want to cease my party activities”, explained Vardan Mkrtchyan.
Stepan Zakaryan is also tired of politics. He stated that the opposition was defeated: “No one rigged or stuffed the elections; the nation sold its votes”. Stepan Zakaryan who is disappointed in methods of political fight does not exclude that he may also leave the party.
Stepan Demirchyan, Head of the “People’s Party of Armenia” refused to comment on his friends’ deed. Ruzan Khachtryan, press secretary of the party, informed that their step annoyed the party members. “Some members of the party became deputies owing to the efforts of ordinary parties and their annoyance can be understood”.
To our question whether Mkrtchayn and Zakaryan were against the formation of the Block, Mrs Khachtryan noted: “They were against it. But it is not a problem. The elections were rigged and the party did not enter the NA.”
By the way, Stepan Demirchyan was astonished by Stepan Zakaryan’s intention while Ruzan Khachtryan was not.
