"Zhoghovurd": Nobody believes Hovik Abrahamyan in the RPA.

The ghost of mistrust hovering over Hovik Abrahamyan, Armenia’s former National Assembly Speaker and chief of the ruling coalition Republican Party of Armenia’s (RPA) nonexistent Campaign Headquarters for the upcoming parliamentary elections, is not disappearing in any way, Zhoghovurd daily writes.

“Zhoghovurd’s sources close to RPA inform that some Party circles continue to discuss the option of dismissing Abrahamyan of his duties as Chief of the [Campaign] Headquarters. They suspect him of carrying out a concealed campaign in favor if his in-law, [the coalition’s Prosperous Armenia Party] PAP Chairman Gagik [Gago] Tsarukyan. And when recently Hovik Abrahamyan’s close associates informed him of this, he attempted to validate his loyalty to [President and RPA Chairman] Serzh Sargsyan, and said: ‘If I work for PAP, Sargsyan will not give me a position. How could I work [for PAP]? [You think] I will go to Gago and ask for a position?’ And only time will tell whether those at RPA [actually] believed Hovik Abrahamyan,” Zhoghovurd writes.
