The duel between the Republican Party of Armenia and Prosperous Armenia party seems to have moved from the criminal arena to the political, namely to the media level.

Zhoghovurd paper quotes its sources as saying the RPA and the President’s administration got mad at PA leader Gagik Tsarukyan’s supporters and are considering measures to settle the issue of Prosperous Armenia which “feigns opposition within the authorities”.

According to the paper’s sources, this time the “punishment” will not reveal drug addicts or offender drivers. Another tactics is being devised.

Hraparak daily published an article recently quoting a member of the Prosperous Armenia as boasting: “Did you see our websites triumph over the authorities? Have you read our regular analytical articles? This is what I call reporting and “being the opposition within the authorities.”

So, another RPA-Prosperous Armenia round is due, the paper reports.
