PM says RPA may go for a coalition - paper

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the Victory Park in Yerevan on the occasion of the Victory Day on May 9.

“Negotiations are underway; a few days later everything will be clear... Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) tends to form a coalition,” he told the journalists who were eager to know which parties will join the coalition with RPA, and whether there will be any coalition at all.

The PM did not specify which forces are involved in the talks, 168 Hours paper reports.

With regard to the same issue, speaker of the National Assembly Samvel Nikoyan declared that the new coalition should be an “ideological” one, the paper says.

“If several parties stand side by side and cooperate, they should share the same ideology,” the speaker said, providing no details either.
