YEREVAN. – There are correlations, clarifications with all political parties except for the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress, ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Vice-Chairman Galust Sahakyan said during a press conference on Friday. 

And to a news reporter’s question as to whether Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan has an option of not forming a coalition, Sahakyan responded: “The correct formula is this: a political force is either pro-government or opposition; it cannot be in the middle. The future destiny of the country, the state must be thought about. Why should Gagik Tsarukyan dwell on whether or not entering a coalition?”     

Also, Galust Sahakyan recalled that the signed coalition memorandum is still in force for the RPA, and they have not yet heard otherwise from the other parties.
