The political situation in Armenia has finally stabilized,
particularly, after the election for Yerevan mayor, Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan said in Moscow, Tuesday, during a meeting
with Armenian businessmen.

"After we had received positive assessments of international
observers and the opposition had obtained much fewer votes,
the situation considerably stabilized. And Armenia lacks such an
aggressive opposition which is ready to take steps causing political
instability, there is no such critical potential in Armenia",- the
prime minister said.

To recall, the first position at the May 31 election for Yerevan
Council of Elders was held by the Republican Party of Armenia, which
obtained 47,39% of votes. The second position was held by Prosperous
Armenia Party (22,71%), the third one – by the Armenian National
Congress (17,41%). Gagik Beglaryan, the first number on the RPA list
has become mayor of Yerevan.
