Pre-election processes have recently encountered difficulties – sometimes going beyond the limits, Chairman of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Gagik Tsarukyan stated at the 5th congress of the party.

The PAP is for tolerance, healthy political competition and democratic elections. “We are sure the Armenian authorities have the political will to hold elections in conformity with international standards,” Tsarukyan said. He stated that the party is sure of success, the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent reports.

The PAP, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and Rule of Law Party form Armenia`s ruling coalition.

The PAP was founded by Gagik Tsarukyan on April 30, 2004.

On May 13, 2006, at its second congress the party analyzed its activities and mapped out plans.

On February 15, 2007, the party held its 3rd congress. Gagik Tsarukyan was unanimously re-elected PAP chairman. The congress also elected a 35-member political council and a 5-member supervisory committee.

The PAP held its 4th congress on February 12, 2009.
