Fourth deputy left fraction of Republican Party of Armenia, the  outflow from the RPA will continue in the coming days

ArmInfo.The fourth deputy Felix Tsolakyan left the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia.

Earlier it was left by the deputies Artur Gevorgyan, Shirak Torosyan  and Arman Sahakyan. Thus, 53 out of 58 MPs remained in the RPA  faction. According to ArmInfo, the deputies who left the RPA ranks  reached an agreement on consolidated work in the parliament.

At the same time, it is not ruled out that in the coming days the RPA  will be left by several more deputies, mostly representing business  circles. The sources in the business circles of the Republican Party  of Armenia told ArmInfo that recently a meeting of the RPA faction  was held in the Avshar wine factory belonging to the Republican MP  Araik Grigoryan, at which the leader of the party Serzh Sargsyan was  present. Taking into account the recent events (inspections in the  enterprises of the entrepreneurs-members of the Republican Party of  Armenia), Serge Sargsyan stated that those RPA members who are  engaged in business are free to leave the party if they believe that  such a decision will be based on their interests. After that,  according to ArmInfo sources, a closed meeting of representatives of  business circles, members of the Republican Party of Armenia, was  held. At the meeting the only issue was discussed - the expediency of  the representatives of business from the ranks of the party.  Nevertheless, Republican businessmen have not reached a consensus  decision, and most likely, each of them will take an autonomous  decision on this issue.

As for the "ideological link" of the RPA, at the Avshar meeting,  Serzh Sargsyan stated that they are also free to leave the party if  they consider this decision more expedient. But in this case, they  must abandon the deputy mandate. "So it will be fair," the RPA leader  summed up.

Thus, it is not ruled out that, taking into account recent events,  the RPA will cease to be an absolute majority, and in the parliament  a new force will de facto form a force from the deputies who left the  ranks, which will play according to their rules of the game depending  on immediate interests.
