    YEREVAN, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Armenian Prime Minister Serzh
    Sargsyan has won 52.86 percent of vote in a presidential race
    according to figures released by the elections commission and ensured
    his victory by passing the required 50-percent of vote threshold to
    be elected president.

    The relatively stable domestic environment, the promise to boost
    social welfare and divided opposition have benefited Sargsyan in the
    election, analysts said.

    According to official statistics, the gross domestic product of
    Armenia has kept a double-digit growth in the past seven years. The
    average income and pension are 170 and 67 U.S. dollars a month.
    Though the ordinary people are not rich, many of them are satisfied
    with the present conditions.
