YEREVAN. - The Prosperous Armenia Party's (PAP) decision to not
partake in the forming of a coalition government was anticipated,
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party representative Hrayr Karapetyan said during
a press conference on Thursday.
In his words, it was clear after the parliamentary elections that
there would be a change in the political forces' configuration, and,
according to him, the PAP's decision to not be a part of a coalition
government will impact Armenia's politics.
Also, the ARF representative noted that the unofficial start for next
year's presidential election campaign has been given.
"During the [parliamentary] election campaign, the Party [that is,
the PAP] was presenting itself as an opposition political force on
many issues," Karapetyan noted, and added that he believes now there
is a fifty-percent chance for a coalition government.
As per Hrayr Karapetyan, now there are two possible developments:
Not being in the coalition, the PAP will either support or not support
incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan in the 2013 elections.
