/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The May 12 parliamentarian elections were a
step forward on the way of democratization of the society, they
also basically met international standards, representative of ARF
Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body Armen Roustamyan stated to a press
conference in Yerevan. Nevertheless, he said authorities failed to
prevent bribe of voters and violations during elections. "Despite
a number of violations Dashnaktsutyun states that parliamentarian
elections in Armenia took place and recognizes its results,"
Roustamyan said.

As to the possibility of creating a coalition government, Roustamyan
said that nobody has turned to the party with such a request yet. "We
do not need symbolic coalition, which will be non-constructive.

Indeed, we’ve passed a long way with the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) and we do not exclude cooperation. We are ready to cooperate
with all parliamentarian parties," he underlined, adding that there
exists the practice of single-party government in the world, and
most likely the same will happen in Armenia. "Single-party government
has its advantages and disadvantages. The whole matter is that only
one political force carries the responsibility of all those things,
which take place in the country. And it is difficult to predict how
much it will succeed," Roustamyan said.
