    POLITICIAN: "ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT OF THE 5TH CONVOCATION WILL BECOME A WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF RPA"

    "Armenian Parliament of the 5th convocation will not differ from the
    previous one and will remain a powerful weapon in the hands of the
    ruling Republican Party of Armenia," Arshak Sadoyan, Leader of the
    National Democrats Party, told media, Thursday.

    "The authorities use all means to reproduce their power and the
    National Assembly will become one of those methods by passing the
    laws justifying illegal actions of the authorities. The parliamentary
    elections became the first illegal action of the authorities that
    gained a majority in the new parliament due to their 'delicate jewelry
    work'," Sadoyan said.

    Republican Party of Armenia received 69 mandates, including 40
    proportional and 29 single-mandate seats, Prosperous Armenia 28
    proportional and 9 single-mandate seats, ANC 7 mandates. The following
    oppositional parties have overcome the 5% threshold: Heritage, ARFD
    and Orinats Yerkir. All the three parties received by 5 seats in the
    parliament. Another 41 people were elected to the parliament by the
    single-mandate constituencies.

    Sadoyan said that victory of the Republican Party in the elections was
    more than predictable given its administrative resource. But Prosperous
    Armenia's refusal to join a coalition with the Republicans was a real
    surprise, he said. However, Sadoyan does not see Prosperous Armenia
    Party in the opposition, for "there can be no oppositional oligarch
    in the political field of Armenia."

    "Obviously, the coalition was not formed because of financial
    problems. Probably, pressure on the Prosperous Armenia will grow after
    the elections. However, it is difficult to say if Prosperous Armenia
    will join the coalition of the Republican and Orinats Yerkir parties.

    Nevertheless, Gagik Tsarukyan cannot be an oppositionist. Neither
    can its party," he said.

    Sadoyan said that Tsarukyan's position will change only if his
    financial demands are satisfied. Given the upcoming presidential
    election, Serzh Sargsyan will satisfy Tsarukyan's financial demands
    to enlist his support.

    To recall, Prosperous Armenia coalition party took an oppositional
    stance on the threshold of elections. Afterwards, Tsarukyan refused
    to participate in formation of the coalitional government.

    Representatives of the party left their ministerial posts.
