    Members of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) rule out setting up of
    coalition with RPA

    Sunday, May 5, 14:22

    Secretary of the PAP parliamentary faction, Naira Zohrabyan, told
    ArmInfo correspondent that she rules out setting up of a coalition
    with the ruling RPA.

    "Moreover, I have voiced not only my personal position but also the
    viewpoint of the PAP in general", - she said.

    To note, today Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan did not
    rule out possible coalition of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
    (RPA) and Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) at the Elders' Council of
    Yerevan.

    In response to the given question yet a day ago, Abrahamyan ruled out
    possibility of consolidation of RPA and PAP. In the meanwhile, Deputy
    Head of the RPA, Acting Minister of Education and Science Armen
    Ashotyan was the first today to forecast possible alliance of the two
    parties. "I don't rule out a new coalition of RPA and PAP, though I
    would not like it to happen," Ashotyan said.

    After the parliamentary elections of 2007 PAP joined the ruling
    coalition with the RPA. By the parliamentary elections of 2012, PAP
    has gradually re-oriented towards 'opposition' and came out as
    opposition at the elections. However, PAP did not participate in the
    presidential election of 2013. The party intensified activity on the
    threshold of elections to the Elders' Council of Yerevan as an
    opposition force.
