YEREVAN. – As a result of Armenia’s May 6 parliamentary elections, President Serzh Sargsyan became the “master of the situation in the country,” National Self-Determination Union Chairman Paruyr Hayrikyan stated during a press conference on Wednesday.   

According to Hayrikyan, the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) has such majority in the future National Assembly that the other political forces which entered the Parliament will just secure their presence. 

“The election results made it clear that [Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader and Armenia’s First President] Levon Ter-Petrosyan and the ANC can no longer play a significant role in the country’s politics,” he said.   

As per Paruyr Hayrikyan, because of the parliamentary election results, the 2013 presidential elections are no longer important, since even if the incumbent President and RPA leader Serzh Sargsyan is not reelected, he controls such political majority that he can remove any elected president from office.
