Paper: RPA member advises Tsarukyan on election campaign![]() April 26, 2012 - 15:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Zhoghovurd paper quotes its sources as saying that leader of Prosperous Armenia party Gagik Tsarukyan has recently consulted member of the executive body of ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) David Harutyunyan on many political issues. Harutyunyan who chairs the National Assembly's standing committee on state and legal affairs is known for his loyalty to RPA's election office head Hovik Abrahamyan, paper says. For his part, Abrahamyan supports Prosperous Armenia's leader who is also father of his daughter-in-law, Zhoghovurd says. The paper tried to find further information about Tsarukyan-Harutyunyan consultations by addressing Tsarukyan's spokesman Khachik Galstyan. The latter responded by dubbing it as “utter nonsense,” the paper reported.
