Yerevan, 27 April: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan confirmed his
forecast on the results of the [12 May] parliamentary election.

During a meeting with the students and professors of Yerevan State
University today the president answered the question of a student
about the fact that several months ago he stated that he would like to
see four parties in parliament: the Republican Party, the Prosperous
Armenia Party, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun
and the United Labor Party.

He said that he could not remember whether he had said that he
would like to see it or that he had considered it most probable
outcome. "Those are different points," the president said and
added that he considered the forecast realistic. "Considering the
question whether I want it or not, yes, I want them to be represented
substantially," Kocharyan said. He also mentioned that he avoided
answering similar questions in order for them not to be viewed as
campaigning.
