MP Tor Sarkissian: No Solution with Tashnag, We Don”t Hand Out Gifts
MP Serge Tor Sarkissian said on Sunday that "no solution" has been reached with Tahsnag for the upcoming parliamentary elections because the Armenia party "wants everything."
"It is necessary that Tashnag take a position," he told Voice of Lebanon radio, continuing "we are ready to give them everything." He added that, if it were possible, the party would "take the seats of Maronites and others" as well.
Tor Sarkissian expressed his support for an Armenian parliamentary bloc but cautioned that "if the bloc were [mainly] comprised of Tashnag, it would pose a danger to Lebanon."
The MP also denied rumors that money was being offered to Tashnag in return for political support, saying that "the Armenian seats are the property of citizens and we don”t hand out gifts."
The Armenian party is expected to announce its alliances for the June 7 elections in the near future.
