Yerevan /Mediamax/. Spokesman of the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov stated today that, proposing cooperation to
the opposition, the elected President of the republic Serzh Sarkisian
proved that "he puts the future of Armenia above his own ambitions".

Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,

is the formation of a coalitional government".

According to him, the leaders of "Dashnaktsutiun" and "National
Unification" parties stated their readiness to discuss issues of
cooperation with RPA. At that the RPA representative stated that the
coalition with "Dashnaktsutiun" has already proved its productiveness.

Eduard Sharmazanov added that the topic of formation of a coalitional
government is discussed today in "Orinats Yerkir" party as well.

"Power for us is not an aim, but a means to solve the problems, which
Armenia faces, and all the constructive forces should get united for
that", Eduard Sharmazanov stated, noting that "if there are discords
between representatives of various political forces, they should not
be personal, but ideological ones".
