Ter-Petrosian Urges Tsarukian To Resist Government ‘Pressure=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=

Opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosian on Tuesday warned Gagik Tsarukian's Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) not to bow to what he described as government pressure and again stressed the importance of cooperating with the country's second largest parliamentary force.

In an apparent reference to criminal proceedings launched against former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, Ter-Petrosian claimed that President Serzh Sarkisian is now trying to turn the BHK into an "obedient servant."

"Any force aspiring to become a serious political factor, in this case Prosperous Armenia, must be able to withstand those pressures and not be afraid of them," he told supporters rallying in Yerevan's Liberty Square.
