Expectations from staff reshuffles and the conflicts over the positions
between the two wings of the Republican Party of Armenia have come
to a boil, Hraparak newspaper writes.
The source reported that after the presidential election of Feb 18
the wing of the old politics of the Republican Party do their best to
take advantage of the election result. The scenario of the 'veterans'
is as follows: Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan - prime minister, Head of
RPA faction Galust Sahakyan - parliament speaker, Karen Karapetyan,
ex-head of the presidential administration, parliamentarian -
Secretary of the National Security Council, Minister of Transport and
Communication Garik Beglaryan - back to mayor's office, parliamentarian
David Haroutiunyan - back to justice minister's office, Head of the
Parliament Commission for Economic Issues Vardan Ayvazyan - minister
of ecology.
The Republican 'veterans' have decided to bring Prosperous Armenia
Party back to the coalition. For his part, the youth wing unlike the
older party-men has little ambitions and takes no visible actions,
as it "was told to wait." The paper writes that President Serzh
Sargsyan does not want to take any radical measures before the upcoming
elections to the Elder's Council of Yerevan.
To note, by preliminary results of the election, the incumbent
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan obtained 58.64% (861,160 votes),
the leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian - 36.75% (539,672),
Hrant Bagratyan - 2.15%, Paruyr Hayrikyan - 1.23%, Andreas Ghukasyan
- 0.57%, Vardan Sedrakyan - 0.42%, Arman Melikyan - 0.24%. The CIS
and European observers gave generally positive assessment of the
presidential election, calling it democratic and legitimate despite
some insignificant violations.
