the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) Party will form a coalition
government with the Republican Party of Armenia and Bargavach Hayastan
(Prosperous Armenia) party, and Arthur Baghdasarian, the Chairman of
the Orinats Yerkir Party and the candidate, who received 16.7 percent
of the votes at the presidential elections, will be appointed Secretary
of the Security Council.
It should be mentioned that during the rally of his supporters,
which took place on the Republic square of Yerevan the other day,
Prime Minister Serge Sargsian, who received 52.8 percent of the votes
at the presidential elections, called other presidential candidates
to form a coalition government. Later, Robert Kocharian, the current
President of the Republic of Armenia mentioned in the interview with
the Public TV that the newly-elected President intends to involve
other political forces as well into the authorities, besides the
Republican Party of Armenia and Bargavach Hayastan.
It should also be mentioned that the further cooperation of the ARF
Dashnaktsutiun with the RPA and Bargavach Hayastan is still uncertain
as the suggestion of Dashnaktsutiun on renouncing that cooperation
has not been discussed yet with the other two participants of the
cooperation. It is not excluded that coming out of the government,
Dashnaktsutiun will become a constructive opposition. It should also
be mentioned that the ARF Armenia Supreme Body made a statement on
February 25, in which it stated that it does not dispute the results
of the presidential elections and turns to the political coalition
with a suggestion on stopping the cooperation.
