YEREVAN.- Former Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian said he is not focused on the 2013 presidential elections, saying “it is too early to think about it.”

“Some people interpret my answer as if I am not ruling out the possibility of participation in elections,” Oskanian who is a member of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) told journalists on Friday.

Asked about what advantages people will get from PAP’s decision not to join the ruling coalition, Oskanian said only society, people would win.

“During the election campaign I was struggling against political monopoly. I would continue my struggle until this phenomenon disappears and healthy political system based on counterbalance is formed. In the near future it will be clear whether PAP will become counterbalance,” he added.

Armenia’s Central Electoral Commission has issued the preliminary results of the May 6 parliamentary elections.

Five parties and one political bloc will be represented in the 131-seat National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia: Republican Party of Armenia – 44.05% (663,066 votes), Prosperous Armenia Party – 30.20% (454,684 votes), Armenian National Congress – 7.10% (106,910 votes), Heritage Party – 5.79% (87,095 votes), ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party – 5.73% (86, 296 votes), and Orinats Yerkir Party – 5.49% (82,690 votes).
