Police were overseeing PA meeting
The "Prosperous Armenia" party held a meeting with residents of the Kanaker-Zeytun district today on the sidelines of the campaign for the Council of Elders elections.
Serious precautions were taken before the meeting at the Davit Anhaght square by the party and police.
The Republican and "Prosperous Armenia" parties have gotten into many disputes recently and one of them took place in the Kanaker-Zeytun district. The square was surrounded by police officers and they were headed by well-known police officer Robert Melkonyan.
But this time Melkonyan was not asking people to walk on the sidewalks or leave. He was simply following-up on the work of the police.
The "Prosperous Armenia" party had also gathered a group of young trained men who were coming to the Davit Anhaght square.
An all-star lineup was trying to cheer up residents of the district before the meeting, but the concert ended immediately at 7 p.m. and the party's anthem began as Gagik Tsarukyan approached the square.
The party leader was welcomed with salt and bread and pigeons were released in the air. Dozens of women surrounded Tsarukyan and started handing him letters. Some of them even managed to tell Tsarukyan about their issues. Tsarukyan heard them and sometimes ordered his bodyguards to register their phone numbers to contact later. Tsarukyan finally made it to the stage to join the top candidates on the list, NA Deputies and intellectuals.
The members' speeches were the same. NA Deputy Aram Safaryan reminded those present that their party has been in politics for two years running and asked the people to get acquainted with their programs.
Hasmik Gasparyan, who is one of the residents of the Kanaker-Zeytun districts and one of the founders of the party, did not consider the site by chance and reminded her fellow residents that the square was remodeled and opened thanks to the efforts of Gagik Tsarukyan.
