Exclusive.am. Experts of "Electoral Systems" Center have belief in
this. "In case of proportional Parliamentary elections opportunities
of Republican Party to gain majority even in coalition with other
political powers will be theoretic", says Mr. Arthur Avtandilyan,
Executive Director of "Electoral Systems" Center.
"In every Parliament political powers comparably can be divided
into four groups: ruling favorite party, parties under influence
of authorities, neutral parties and opposition parties. Armenian
Republic Party (ARP) will not be able to get more votes in forthcoming
elections, than Vazgen Sargsyan-Karen Demirchyan alliance did in 1999.
Opportunities are also rationally evaluated by Serj Sargsyan, who
mentions 25% for ARP as a good result. Parties, which are under the
influence of authorities together, will get fewer votes, than ARP,
i.e. 20%. This will not be sufficient to form coalition majority.
Neutral parties will prefer to form majority with opposition in better
conditions. The example is the present Parliament of Ukraine.
Thus, refusal of majority electoral system will be equal to defeat
for the present political majority ", the analytic bulletin of
"Electoral Systems" Center says.
