Today, in response to a question of www.aravot.am how he would explain that Levon Ter-Petrossian had formerly tried to end the process of “PAP-ization” (Prosperous Armenia Party) and “RPA-ization” (Republican Party of Armenia), now they talked only about RPA-ization and flattered the PAP, Hmayak Hovhannisyan, the president of the Union of Political Scientists, included in the RPA list said, “Because Gagik Tsarukyan has proved by his people-pleasing activities that he is worthy of a different, more respectful attitude. Let the others – Samvel
Alexanyan, Rubik Hayrapetyan – take the same path, they cannot do that. Therefore, the people don’t love them, hate them, but they love Gagik. And the people don’t make mistakes. Late Karen Serobich used to tell me that the people were like a child – a child feels who is honest, who is a good, kind guy and who is a bad guy in the same way as the people do. A child always refuses bad things, sometimes adults don’t understand why a child doesn’t want to go to a certain man’s place, because a child has an intuition, he feels. It is not possible to deceive the people either. They will surely punish, they are punishing Lfik and Nemets by their attitude now. As for Gagik Tsarukyan, he, resisting abuses without a murmur, has proved everything by his work. I see today that Gagik is a man that enjoys spreading kindness.”
According to Hmayak Hovhannisyan’s comment, Nikol Pashinyan and generally the ANC has changed its attitude toward Gagik Tsarukyan also after Khachatur Sukiasyan’s case, “Nikol is internally very inhibited person. Formerly he didn’t distinguish between Tsarukyan and other wealthy oligarchs, but today he sees that difference. Sukiasyan’s case is a striking example in that regard, they took the man’s property away, tried to use Gagik Tsarukyan for that and offered him to buy Bjni owned by Sukiasyan. Gagik Tsarukyan refused and said, ‘I don’t have an eye on it and will not seize the opportunity of that man’s difficult situation,’ isn’t it an indicator? It is an indicator and Ruben Hayrapetyan emerged and did that – took another man’s property.”
