Creation of coalition is not end in itself for RPA

The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is in the mood of cooperation with all parliamentarian parties, RPA Press Officer Eduard Sharmazanov stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He stressed creation of a parliamentarian coalition is not end in itself. “We already have notorious experience of creating a coalition with “Orinats Yerkir” party and we would not like to repeat it again,” Sharmazanov said. At the same time he does not exclude the possibility of cooperation with “Prosperous Armenia” party, which runs second in the result of the May 12 elections. Sharmazanov also underlined RPA is ready to take the responsibility in the country if a single-party government is created.
