No one dares to comment on the formation of three wings in the Prosperous Armenia Party (the BHK), the party members don’t want to be in somebody’s bad books, those who have left the party say that it isn’t their business, and those who are considered to be the representatives of Robert Kocharyan’s wing suggest waiting. Martun Grigoryan left the party together with Gagik Tsarukyan: “At the moment I don’t have any problems with anybody in the party or in the faction.” Martun Grigoryan doesn’t know what is going on in his faction and what connection Elinar Vardanyan has with Robert Kocharyan.  Elinar Vardanyan may be dismissed from the post of the Chairman of Human Rights Committee of the National Assembly. Martun Grigoryan, who left the party, is the Chairman of the Agricultural Committee and no one is going to dismiss him. Martun Grigoryan supports Serzh Sargsyan’s Constitution. Elinar Vardanyan is against. The BHK faction member Stepan Margaryan is also against, but he is not a member of the party. Both are chairman of the committees: “These sanctions against them has no connection as it is written in the media, it has no connection also with the constitutional vote,” says the BHK faction member, the BHK press secretary Vahan Babayan. Vahan Babayan speaks both about Stepan Margaryan and Elinar Vardanyan as former partners. He says that their negative attitude towards the new draft constitution has no connection with new attitude of the faction. Mr. Babayan doesn’t say why the party and the faction lost their patience. In fact, measures must be taken against both of them at least by dismissing them from the posts of committees’ chairman. The Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs Hovhannes Sahakyan says the BHK can raise the issue of dismissing Stepan Margaryan and Elinar Vardanyan from their posts of committees’ chairman at the NA: “The National Assembly’s regulation law gives that opportunity.” Yet the regulation law doesn’t allow such a process.
