The Prospering Armenia party led by prominent Armenian businessman
Gagik Tsarukian, which came in second in the recent parliamentary
elections, has refused to build a coalition with the election winner,
the Republican Party led by President Serzh Sargsyan.
"Based on the results of the parliamentary elections, the party
Prospering Armenia did not get the chance to form a government and
a constitutional opportunity to implement its programs. Therefore,
I am saying officially that the Prospering Armenia party sees it
inappropriate to build a coalition government," Tsarukian said in
a statement.
The party's election program was centered on the idea of significantly
changing the country's and its people's life, he said.
"I said in my campaign meetings that I am not pursuing any personal
ends in politics. I said I am prepared to incur personal losses but
preserve the people's trust. The people who voted for us trusted us,
demanding visible changes in the republic's socioeconomic life,"
he said.
Tsarukian vowed that Prospering Armenia will continue to play an
active role in the country's political and social affairs.
