YEREVAN, May 16. /ARKA/. The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
is happy with the outcome of the parliamentary election, Armenian
Prime-Minister, leader of RPA Serge Sargsian told journalists.
"I said it on repeated occasions that if we received 25% we could
state we did good work. We always were modest in our aspirations and
I think we have done really good work," Sargsian said.
"Of course, nobody feels giddy from the success, nobody believes
there were no shortcomings, but no country can state it has a perfect
election system needing no further development," "Novosti-Armenia"
agency reports referring to Sargsian. Outcome of elections gives rise
to discontent everywhere.
According to Sargsian, there will not be discontent in two cases -
if no losers appear in the election and if 100% of population is
satisfied. But such a situation is impossible, hence always somebody
will be unhappy with the outcome, he said.
"We are happy with the results of the election. We set a level we want
to reach - to have both people and European partners assessing the
next election as completely conforming to the international standards,"
Sargsian said.
According to the preliminary information by Central Electoral
Commission of Armenia, the new Armenian parliament is to be formed by
three pro-governmental parties - Republican Party of Armenia (33.8%
or 457,032 votes), Prospering Armenia (14.7% or 200,443 votes) and
ARF Dashnaktsutiun (12.7% or 177,192) and two opposition parties -
"Orinats Erkir" and "Heritage" with 6.8% (95,256) and 5.8% (80,890)
respectively.
