The ruling coalition is breaking up as the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) and the Prosperous Armenia party are struggling for votes in
single-mandate districts, member of the Free Democrats party Anush
Sedrakyan told journalists on Wednesday.
"Unlike the Government, the opposition is consolidated and will run for
the parliament as one force. This time we have more chances to gain
a parliamentary majority. Together the Heritage and Free Democrats
parties may secure as many as 20% of the votes,"
RPA member Vardan Ayvazyan said that the RPA is looking to 50% of the
votes. "The opposition hopes for 25%, while we already have over 30%
and will struggle for more," Ayvazyan said.
Regarding the reported contradictions between the RPA and Prosperous
Armenia, he advised the opposition to mind its own contradictions,
one of them being the nomination of the leader of the Heritage party
Raffi Hovhannisyan and member of the Armenian National Congress Nikol
Pashinyan in one and the same single-mandate district.
