The Prosperous Armenia will back the leader of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), President Serzh Sargsyan during the upcoming presidential race, MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) said.

Gagik Minasyan cited the coalition memorandum signed in 2011 as confirmation, in which Prosperous Armenia head Gagik Tsarukyan pledged to endorse President Sargsyan.

Dwelling on Prosperous Armenia’s refusal to join the coalition, the MP said that the promise remains in force until Mr. Tsarukyan states the opposite.

“Each political force is free to decide on its role in this field,” he said.
