YEREVAN. – Yelk [Way Out] Bloc will under no circumstance form a coalition with the Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), said bloc representative Alen Simonyan, speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“We haven’t received [such] a proposal from the rest of the colleagues, and we haven’t even discussed such a matter,” he added. “Today, there is no such matter on our agenda, and in my view, it will hardly be.”

Simonyan noted that Sunday’s parliamentary election in Armenia was conducted with the use state resources, and electoral fraud.

“Against this backdrop, the picture of the elections is what we have today,” stated the Yelk representative.

Alen Simonyan added, however, that they will not challenge the election results because there are no relevant facts, whereas Yelk Bloc had retained each and every vote it received and no vote was stolen from it. 

The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Armenia has publicized the preliminary results of the National Assembly election, and which are as follows: Republican Party of Armenia – 49.12% (58 seats), Tsaurkyan Bloc – 27.32% (31 seats), Yelk [Way Out] Bloc – 7.77% (9 seats), and Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party – 6.57% (7 seats).

The other five political forces that ran for parliament, however, failed to pass the minimum threshold for winning parliamentary seats.
