Analyst says ARP and Prosperous Armenia claim for parliamentary mandates

YEREVAN, JUNE 27, ARMENPRESS:

The Republican Party of Armenia and Prosperous Armenia Party are the chief claimants for reaching victory at the 2012 parliamentary elections in Armenia. The fight will take place mainly between them, head of the Globalization and Regional Cooperation Analytical Center Stepan Grigoryan said at a news conference today.

The latter does not expect serious fight between the Armenian National Congress and the authorities. "Of course some fight will take place but the normal fight will be between the ARP and the Prosperous Armenia as they two have greater electorate", he said.

According to him, "Heritage" and ARF also have a chance to win places. The analyst expressed doubt that Rule of Law party will appear in the parliament.
