  Prosperous Armenia rep says her statement distorted October 26, 2012 - 18:28 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group member Naira Zohrabyan has issued a statement, deeming her remarks about the party leader Gagik Tsarukyan’s nomination solely her personal opinion. “Asked whether Prosperous Armenia has determined its participation format for the presidential elections, I said the following: though our party hasn’t yet decided on presidency, I think it would be correct if Prosperous Armenia nominates own presidential candidate; and I can name only Gagik Tsarukyan as the nominee. That’s my personal viewpoint.” “The statement has been distorted by media outlets, as though I made an official statement on Prosperous Armenia’s decision to nominate own candidate for the February race,” she said.
