YEREVAN, MARCH 15, ARMENPRESS. According to the "Sociometer"
sociological research center the majority of the votes at the upcoming
parliamentary elections will be given to the Republican Party of
Armenia, Prosperous Armenia Party, Armenian National Congress, ARF,
Heritage and the Rule of Law. Director of the center Aharon Adibekyan
told at the meeting with reporters that the possibilities of other
small parties are quite small.
He said there is a problem of accepting the defeat with dignity. Heads
of parties who fail to assess the reality in a right way create
problems for their party members.
Though the center will conduct its polls in late March, after the
publication of lists, the sociologist says no party will reach absolute
majority, two big political centers will be created the RPA and PAP
who will be forced to restore coalition and manage it.
He said 60% activation is expected in the upcoming elections: the 40%
has already made the decision and will hardly change it. In case of 40%
of participation, the RPA will get 16%, the PAP 14%, the ANC 8-9%,
the ARF 6-7%, Heritage and the Rule of Law will get 5-6% votes. The
rest will get insignificant percent of votes.
"Our parliament's privilege is that we have independent, non-party
majority MPs who may freely express their opinions," Adibekyan said.
He expressed conviction that fair, democratic elections are expected
in May.
