Prosperous Armenia seeking for 5 ministerial seats?

Prosperous Armenia leader Gagik Tsarulyan didn’t meet Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, with no ministerial seats discussed, party spokesman Tigran Urikhanyan said.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov assured that no discussions took place with Prosperous Armenia.

Meanwhile, Haykakan Zhamanak paper reported that a meeting between Tigran Sargsyan and Gagik Tsarulyan took place last week, with Prosperous Armenia’s executive body favoring formation of a coalition and RPA’s large part against the idea. Moreover, Prosperous Armenia is rumored to seek for 5 ministerial seats in exchange for entering the coalition, with the ruling authorities agreeing to only 4 of them.
