There are no resignations on agenda of the ruling Republican Party, says Eduard Sharmazanov, Spokesperson of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament. According to him, they have discussed important issues, and no new appointments, RFE/RL Armenian Service says.
Asked if the ruling party is satisfied with the activity of the Police amid the latest incidents, Sharmazanov said: "Armenia has not so many professional officials, and Vladimir Gasparyan is one of them."
Sharmazanov said that the RPA Council will met on Thursday. Afterwards, they will give answers to a number of important questions, he said, as the PRA Council comprising 200 people is the major body of the Party.
Meanwhile, a local newspaper "Hraparak" (" Public Square") writes that at its last meeting, the RPA Council discussed the latest developments in the domestic policy life of the country, including Prosperous Armenian Party's actions etc. The paper writes that "Young Republicans," for instance Sharmazanov, Armen Ashotyan, Karen Avagyan advocated for a more radical stand towards the opponents.
