HHK trying to receive half of parliamentary seats
The Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) is unlikely to withdraw from the ruling coalition, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan said on Wednesday.
"Should the BHK quit the coalition, it will lose many of its tools that will enable the party to change the situation ahead of the parliamentary elections," Iskandaryan told journalists today.
The political scientist says that the hustle and bustle stirred up over the BHK is part of election campaigning: ‘Gagik Tsarukyan's party seeks to secure more seats in the National Assembly than it had in the past.'
"In politics, you cannot ask all the time, sometimes you threat," he said.
Asked whether the BHK will be able to come out as a winner and win majority of seats in parliament, Iskandaryan said the party has only 6-7 months to do it.
"I do not think that the BHK has great chances, therefore I find the party's withdrawal from the coalition as unrealistic," said the political scientist.
According to Iskandaryan, the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) will try to take 50+1% of the mandates.
