Foreign force, possibly Russia, influenced on the decision of the
Prosperous Armenia party (PAP) against formation of a coalition
government with the ruling Republican party, political analyst Edgar
Vardanyan said, speaking to Tert.am.
`I think the impact of an external force is obvious here. It is
difficult to prove it but I suppose it is so,' the political analyst
said.
He stressed that what Tsarukyan's statement reads was clear from the
very beginning, thus it is interesting what the PAP and the ruling
Republican were negotiating for two weeks. The expert supposes that
the PAP forwarded claims Serzh Sargsyan considered it impossible to
satisfy, otherwise the PAP would not have taken such a risk as for the
party's businessmen it is important not to have problems with
authorities.
`I do not think it was an issue of a portfolio. I think an attempt was
made to seize some resources, have greater participation in the
powers. Probably, the ruling coalition has felt that in case it
satisfies the PAP's demand it will suffer serious losses till the loss
of the full power. It may either be prime minister's post or other
thing,' Vardanyan said.
In his opinion the formation of a coalition was beneficial both for
the PAP and the RPA. President Serzh Sargsyan would have won much
easily in the coming elections in case of PAP's support.
He considered it difficult to predict PAP's future conduct, saying
everything depends on external factors.
