“If everyone says that he ruins the economy, and he is appointed again, it means that he suits them,” Lyova Khachatryan, a PAP MP, said during a conversation with the Zhamanak (time) newspaper yesterday, talking about the reappointment of Tigran Sargsyan as Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia. Talking about the aforementioned statement of the PAP MP during a conversation with www.aravot.am today, Hovhannes Sahakyan, the secretary of the PAP parliamentary group, said: “Lyova talked generally, using the word ‘some,’ I will also address some whom I will first of all remind that when they talk on behalf of the people or use the phrase ‘everyone says,’ let them mention who that everyone is. Or let them restrain their wording, while they pursue that ostrich policy, burying their heads in sand and not seeing anything and raise their heads and start to talk only when there is a proper instruction.” According to the RPA MP, the Prime Minister was able at this stage of the economic crisis to work in such a way that even social programs were not cut. “Let us also remind that they, as a political force, have rather actively participated in recent years, and it would be better, if they manly shared that responsibility or stated that they had made mistakes, and we would make a proper assessment.” According to Sahakyan, first of all, the very PAP likes emigration, since it is a good excuse to backbite. “Otherwise, after being in that joint political team for four years, they wouldn’t have taken an attitude of criticizing one year before the parliamentary election.” Deeming further talk about PAP beneath his dignity, the PAP parliamentary group secretary just said: “Those people have entered this or that harbor, and I don’t think that this is their last harbor; at the end of the day, they should take their heads out of sand before talking. One should not continue to act according to a wicked person’s psychology.” Sahakyan also suggested that PAP representatives take moral responsibility for the four years of joint government and make honest and adequate assessments.
