YEREVAN.- Former Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian said he
is not focused on the 2013 presidential elections, saying "it is too
early to think about it."
"Some people interpret my answer as if I am not ruling out the
possibility of participation in elections," Oskanian who is a member
of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) told journalists on Friday.
Asked about what advantages people will get from PAP's decision not
to join the ruling coalition, Oskanian said only society, people
would win.
"During the election campaign I was struggling against political
monopoly. I would continue my struggle until this phenomenon disappears
and healthy political system based on counterbalance is formed. In the
near future it will be clear whether PAP will become counterbalance,"
he added.
Armenia's Central Electoral Commission has issued the preliminary
results of the May 6 parliamentary elections.
Five parties and one political bloc will be represented in the
131-seat National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia: Republican Party
of Armenia - 44.05% (663,066 votes), Prosperous Armenia Party - 30.20%
(454,684 votes), Armenian National Congress - 7.10% (106,910 votes),
Heritage Party - 5.79% (87,095 votes), ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party - 5.73%
(86, 296 votes), and Orinats Yerkir Party - 5.49% (82,690 votes).
