Parliamentary vote outcomes are evidence of stability in Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - The results of the parliamentary elections in Armenia were not surprising. They are evidence of stability in the Armenian society, First Deputy Chair of the State Duma committee on CIS affairs and relations with compatriots Ahmed Bilalov said. "The majority voted for predictable policy pursued by the Armenian leadership. The victory of pro-governmental political forces is conditioned by the economic success achieved by the republic during the recent years," he added.



"The amendments introduced in the RA Constitution in 2005 make the republic parliamentary-presidential and ensure very favorable conditions for the ruling party. They allow strengthening positions and rendering serious support to the next President. "Obviously, the Armenian leadership forecast the outcomes of the elections, otherwise it could wait a little with the amendments," Bilalov said, RIA Novosti reports.



The Republican Party of Armenia led by Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan, Prosperous Armenia party led by entrepreneur Gagik Tsarukyan, AFR Dashnaktsutyun, Orinats Yerkir party led by former RA NA speaker Artur Baghdassaryan and Heritage party led by Armenia's first Foreign Minister Raffi K.
