Prosperous Armenia boasts larger electorate than other political forcesNovember 10, 2011 - 14:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Prosperous Armenia coalition party has a larger electorate than the rest of Armenian political forces, a party member said. As Vardan Bostanjyan told a press conference in Yerevan, one may infer that under equal conditions Prosperous Armenia must enjoy a larger electorate. When asked if the same can be said about the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Mr. Bostanjyan refused to draw parallels. On February 17, RPA, Prosperous Armenia and Orinats Yerkir leaders President Sargsyan, Gagik Tsarukyan and Artur Baghdasaryan signed a political coalition memorandum. The parties agreed not to increase representation in future parliament, endorse RPA leader President Sargsyan’s candidacy in 2013 presidential elections. However, recently rumors have been floated in Armenian media regarding a conflict between RPA and Prosperous Armenia with the latter unwilling to back President Sargsyan’s candidacy in coming elections.
