The memorandum was signed to the detriment of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP). The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) partially suffered as well. The Armenian National Congress (ANC) is the only force that benefited from the memorandum, Armen Badalyan, an expert in political and elections technologies, told journalists March 1. There is no sense in speaking of the Heritage and Rule of Law parties because such parties do not really exist.

The memorandum is actually to the PAP`s detriment, as the party will have the same number of seats in the future Parliament. "That is, the PAP voters do not have any inducement to vote for the party," Badalyan said. He pointed out that The PAP has not succeeded in getting the electorate to view it as an alternative to the authorities or in undertaking the mission of an opposition force.

The political essayist Anush Sedrakyan does not share the opinion that the memorandum was signed to the PAP`s detriment. According to her, the reason why the PAP cannot become an opposition force is it has no control of economic levers.

Sedrakyan also said that, but for the authorities` support, the PAP would not have succeeded in the latest elections. If the PAP refused to sign the memorandum, it would lose that support. "So the PAP got a great bonus by signing the memorandum," Sedrakyan said.
