Expert: Heritage, ARFD have slim chances for victory at parliamentary election

Armenian political expert Armen Aghayan expressed doubts over the chances of opposition Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) parties at future parliament elections.

As he noted at a news conference in Yerevan, were the elections held at present, Heritage and ARFD would gain a maximum of 6-8%, which wouldn’t be enough to make it to the National Assembly. According to Aghayan, the parties in question must take serious steps to increase their ranking.

At the same time, the expert expressed confidence over the chances of ruling coalition parties and Armenian National Congress for victory at parliament elections.
