RPA is to decide whether it stays with criminals or not
If criminally prosecutable acts continue to develop in the country, first of all the responsibility lies with the authorities, says the chairman of the Christian-Democratic Revival Party, Sos Gimishyan.
Speaking about the recent high-profile shooting incident outside the house of Syunik Governor Surik Khachatryan, Mr Gimishyan said in the near future it will become clear whether the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) wants to continue way with criminals or not.
"Now let us wait for the authorities' decision. If they prefer to stay with criminals, they will violate the law. If they want to prove the reverse, they will have to apply the Criminal Code for the criminally prosecutable offense, which will be an adequate response by the authorities," he said.
Gimishyan says that there are numerous candidates of governors among the Republicans who can replace the Syunik governor.
"Candidates are not to blame as the system dictates the demeanour and future steps of an official," he added.
