/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "If the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) takes an
appropriate decision I will run for President in 2008," member of the
RPA council, Armenian Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan told reporters
May 16. He also said after May 12 parliamentary election the Armenian
government will undergo personnel shifts.

When commenting on the election process, Mr Sargsyan said "there were
some omissions but no state can hold an ideal election." "There are
no discontent if there are no losers. The Republican Party is content
with the outcomes and will do our outmost to hold the next election
in absolute accord with the law," he said.

The RPA garnered 32,8% of votes in the parliamentary elections.

The RA PM excluded possibility of pre-term presidential election. He
did not support the idea of coalition government either. "We are
ready to cooperate with all forces, but it’s too early to speak of
coalition yet," he said, IA Regnum reports.

The Armenian presidential election is due in early 2008.
