YEREVAN, JANUARY 24, ARMENPRESS. Unity party denies media reports which said allegedly the party’s president, ex-FM Vartan Oskanian had a meeting with PAP founder, business magnate Gagik Tsarukyan. Media reports also said the sides ruled out possible cooperation.

Spokesperson of the Unity party Aregnaz Manukyan released a statement, denying reports on a meeting between Oskanian and Tsarukyan.

“Some media outlets have released disinformation, saying that a Tsarukyan-Oskanian meeting had taken place, where a possible cooperation has been ruled out. I am officially denying these reports. A meeting between Oskanian and Tsarukyan hasn’t been held, therefore no issue has been discussed.

In terms of cooperation, there is no need for official meetings or official negotiations for this. Several members of the Unity party Board have normal personal relations with Tsarukyan, they highly value the path they passed jointly and distinguish the understandings of “cooperation”, “respects” and “list”, the statement said.
