Gagik Tsarukyan will not participate in tonight`s Publiv TV debate of  top party candidates - Tonoyan

ArmInfo. Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia party, will not participate in the debate of top party candidates organized tonight by Public  Television, as announced by Gagik Tsarukyan's press secretary, Iveta  Tonoyan, on her Facebook page.

"In response to inquiries from numerous media outlets, I am informing  you that the Chairman of the Prosperous Armenia party, Gagik  Tsarukyan, will not take part in the debate among the top-listed  party candidates organized today by Public Television.

Today, the party will hold a major rally and meeting with our voters  and compatriots at Freedom Square.  Gagik Tsarukyan has chosen to be  with the people on this important day, to have direct contact with  citizens, to present the party's programs, vision, and proposed  solutions, and to listen to the problems and concerns of the public.  Furthermore, at least one of the debate participants has avoided  substantive discussion throughout the entire campaign, relying  instead on a lexicon of insults and accusations. This is precisely  why Gagik Tsarukyan will deliver his message directly to our  compatriots tonight. We invite all citizens to take part in the rally  at Freedom Square. See you tonight at 7:00 PM at Freedom Square,"  Tonoyan wrote.
