YEREVAN. – Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) will win the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for May, RPA MP Rafik Petrosyan told the journalists on Friday (photo).

According to him, ruling coalition member Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) will be the second place, while off-parliamentary opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) will close the top three.

Another ruling coalition member Orinats Yerkir party will follow the top triplet as it cooperates with authorities and may get advantage of Republican and PAP image.

The Mp said ARF Dashnaktsutyun party will poll 5 % of votes and will appear in the Parliament, while the other parliamentary opposition Heritage party will not overcome the barrier if it participates in the election without establishing a political bloc.
