ARMENIA'S RULING PARTY TO FORM MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT - MP
Tert.am
17.02.12
At his Friday meeting with journalists, Rafik Petrosyan, an MP of the
Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), said that the ruling party would
form a majority in Armenia's new parliament.
The latest local elections are evidence thereof - RPA representatives
won the elections in 31 out of the 39 constituencies.
The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is sure to be the second. It has
done much work over the past five years. The opposition Armenian
National Congress (ANC) will be the third. The mayor election in
Hrazdan showed this force has an electorate, Petrosyan said.
As regards the Rule of Law party, which is part of the ruling
coalition, is likely to be the fourth, he said.
"The Rule of Law party's valuable asset is its cooperating in state
government. The RPA, PAP and Rule of Law are not going to wage a
fierce struggle, and the last-named will take advantage of the others'
image," Petrosyan said.
The MP is sure that, as an old party, the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) will get the necessary 5%.
As regards the Heritage party, it will not get the necessary 5%
if it runs for parliament unallied.
