Director of the Regional Studies Center Richard Giragosian thinks
the Prosperous Armenia party has serious conflicts with its former
coalition partner, the Republican Party of Armenia.
At a news conference on Monday, the expert said the existing conflicts
could lead to serious challenges ahead of the presidential elections.
According to him, a possible decision by the PAP not to nominate
a candidate would prove that the criminal case against ex-Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian (who is now a member of the PAP) is a real
cause of the disagreements.
Giragosyan said the presidential campaign is more like a political
hobby, with President Seerzh Sargsyan facing the likelihood of
re-election. As for relationship between Armenian National Congress
(ANC) and the Prosperous Armenia party, Giragosyan noted that the two
forces are unlikely to create an alliance as they both have powerful
representatives and show obvious signs of dislike for one another.
