PAP faction head voices necessity of developing relations with Russia, China and Iran for country’s development

There is no conflict between the Prosperous Armenia party and Bright Armenia, PAP faction head Gagik Tsarukyan said addressing the parliament today, adding that all the issues between them are solved.

He stressed that the PAP faction is not going to target persons but will be for or against the bills, stemming from their expediency. “We are not enemies here, the bills will be presented and we will decide which one is better and useful and bring it into life,” he said.

Tsarukyan stressed the necessity of raising salaries and pensions, encouraging repatriation. He said they already have projects addressing the issues and Vahe Enfiajyan, candidate for the post vice speaker of parliament is the advocate of these projects.

He stressed that it is necessary to bring investors not by convincing them to come but by creating necessary conditions for them to want to come and make investments in Armenia.

The head of the PAP faction also said that for developing country’s economy it is necessary to develop relations with Russia, China and Iran.

Referring to Artsakh issue he said that the sooner the conflict is settled the faster the issues of the country will be solved. As to the Armenian army, Tsarukyan said that 18 year old soldier should not stand on the frontline, it is the place for professional contract servicemen.
