According to our information in the near future the Prosperous Armenia Party will announce who they are going to endorse during the upcoming presidential elections or whether they’d nominate their candidate. Perhaps that is the reason for undisguised collision of interests between the RPA and the Prosperous Armenia and the talks about the possible deflection of the Prosperous Armenia from the ruling coalition. The situation is interesting because in accordance with the rumors Gagik Tsarukyan himself wishes to deflect from the coalition but the governmental elite is trying to deter this him from doing so in order to shun possible jolts. According to the same sources President Sargsyan has told Tsarukyan to either officially endorse him or deflect from the coalition. Moreover, these rumors are being actively spread by the Legal State members. So it’s not excluded that Artur Baghdasrayan will try to fortify its positions in the inter-governmental talks and bargains by offering the rumor of “ultimatum” to Tsarukyan. Despite the recent internal political processes, which make the deflection of the Prosperous Armenia from the coalition more probable, according to our information the Prosperous Armenia leadership is for the idea of staying within the coalition up until the presidential elections and the idea of endorsing Serzh Sargsyan’s candidacy.
