Ahead of the parliamentary election a campaign was implemented for
the idea that the parliamentary election was just a test of the
presidential election. Republicans and political scientists said
the result of the parliamentary elections will indicate who will be
nominated for the presidential elections.
In particular, the ex-president Robert Kocharyan was meant who had
stated earlier to consider returning to politics if he feels the
public demand. What did Robert Kocharyan feel after the elections?
The Prosperous Armenia Party which is loyal to Robert Kocharyan was
successful in this election and will have a parliamentary group of 36
instead of the previous 25. However, ARF which was also considered
as Kocharyan's platform has lost 10 seats. The important thing is
that Kocharyan felt what Serzh Sargsyan's team can do to ensure the
necessary result. And this is perhaps the most important issue. A
powerful machine was deployed, and the line of command proved effective
which can do targeted work with every voter. Robert Kocharyan has
understood a lot of things: Moscow's support may not be useful,
PA charity may be more useful that ARF's national socialism, the
opposition is not ready to take to the street.
Perhaps Robert Kocharyan has lost this election. To some extent he
lost to himself because the mechanism and system was used which had
been established by him. On the other hand, these elections are a
good lesson for Kocharyan who will review his priorities and change
his targets.
In any case, the question whether Kocharyan is demanded or not was
not answered either by himself or by the society.
