ArmInfo. Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Spokesman for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), has responded to Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan's statement that his rating has fallen after he joined the RPA.
"It is great honor and pride to be a member of the Republican Party. Each RPA member should realize it," Sharmazanov told ArmInfo's correspondent.
Sharmazanov added that as usual authorities are unpopular in any country, because the entire responsibility for the current situation lies on the authorities and the entire public discontent is also directed against them. "Each citizen of Armenia, who becomes an RPA member, should realize that despite the shortcomings the RPA was, is and I hope will be the cornerstone of our independent statehood. Our difference from all the other political forces is that we do not lie and we realize our mistakes," the Vice Speaker said.
To note, during a meeting with media representatives, Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan confessed that his rating has fallen since he joined the RPA.
