Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s political bearing as of late testifies to the fact that he intends to create a separate political bloc, said Heritage Party MP Stepan Safaryan during a press conference today.

According to Safaryan, the government leader’s projects could’ve been carried out if governing authorities had allowed him to do so. As recently reported by Tert.am, the Republican Party of Armenia recently welcomed Tigran Sargsyan into its ranks.

Safaryan also added that a widely held public opinion stated that it was the Republican Party of Armenia itself that had appealed to Tigran Sargsyan to join its party (prior to that, the prime minister did not belong to any political party).

According to Safaryan, the formation of a new political party by the prime minister could become a problem for the governing authorities. For that reason, they made the best possible decision to recruit RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan as a Republican Party of Armenia member.

Also participating in the press conference was governing party MP Karen Avagyan who refuted such allegations. According to Avagyan, the Republican Party of Armenia never appealed to anyone with the request of joining its ranks. In Avagyan’s words, it’s not appropriate to seek “sharp corners” in this issue.

Avagyan also stated that there’s nothing unusual about the fact that certain members of the government have become members of the Republican Party of Armenia.
