According to the exit poll conducted by the Armenian Sociological Association and BS/The Gallup Organization the Republican Party of Armenia received 46% of votes at the parliamentary elections of April 2, Gallup representative Rasa Alisauskiene told “Yerkir Media” TV channel. He also introduced the preliminary results of the exit poll.

“Our proxies were in one of the polling stations, where cameras have been installed on the polling booths. Of course, commission members assured that they don’t work, in any case, our proxies insisted that they were eliminated. There are also calls that some people demand that people took photos of the ballots, they are being checked now.”
Head of “Tsarukyan” alliance Gagik Tsarukyan casted his vote together with his family members. He told reporters if they don’t come to power, his friends won’t invest in Armenia, as they won’t have trust toward the authorities.
“We will do everything so that there will be calm at the borders and the borders be inviolable,” Sargsyan said. Asked about their chances in the election, the President mentioned that it isn’t the time for evaluating chances, “It’s the time for receiving votes,” he stressed.
To the question why Serzh Sargsyan didn’t participate in the election campaign, he replied it was the decision of the party. To the observation that it’s stated RPA has lack of rating, that’s why the PM is holding the campaign, he again said it was the decision of the party.
“I am confident that it will be so. Many steps were taken. It is the first time that in the post-soviet space the parliamentary majority and opposition made joint efforts by creating a legislative field, such mechanisms that inspire trust to every citizen that his/her voice will decide the political arrangement of the upcoming 5 years.”
“Lavrov also stated on Azerbaijan’s possible membership to EEU in his interview. It’s known that some Azerbaijani circles in negotiations with Moscow attempt to circulate this issue to gain Russian support in NK conflict settlement.”
