“The good work of a governor is not uniting wolves around the ruling party’s candidate. This step of the President of the Republic of Armenia, by which a governor of the region, where the Heritage Party won a crushing victory, is dismissed, doesn’t testify to secure Armenia,” Styopa Safaryan, the secretary general of the Heritage Party, commented on the news of Shirak governor Ashot Giziryan’s resignation for www.aravot.am. In his words, a casting of offices has started in the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). “The dawns inside the Republican Party are not quiet, because many people inside the RPA wait for a vacancy to fill. Now there will be different punishments inside the RPA for those who haven’t ensured enough votes for Serzh Sargsyan. However, Mr. Sargyan should understand that many members of that party disgrace him.”
