Serzh Sargsyan has done me more favors than to anyone else, but I have handed in my resignation since I disagreed with some of his decisions and actions, which, I believe, contradicted our national interests, Chairman of the National Security Party Garnik Isagulyan told Aravot.am. Speaking about the session of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) which became fatal for the party and its leader Gagik Tsarukyan, Mr Isagulyan said Tsarukyan had simply spoken about the pending constitutional amendments saying his party would vote against them and urge people to say ‘no’ to the amendments. When Aravot.am reminded Mr Isagulyan that Gagik Tsarukyan had also warned the government that a single careless action or word would be enough for them for taking people to the street, the chairman of the National Security Party said, “Look, how scared the authorities got!” “We all know Gagik Tsarukyan very well. I have shared bread with him on several occasions. Once I told him, “Mr Tsarukyan, when you sit at table, you speak freely and fluently.” But when that man takes a microphone in his hands, something happens to him as is the case with people who have fear enclosed spaces or heights. “He [Tsarukyan] said the constitutional amendments aimed to ensure the reproduction of the authorities and they would fight against them with all legal methods. Did the authorities fear legal methods?” said Garnik Isagulyan.
