PAP will continue to stay alternative to the current government (Video).

Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) No. 2 and former FM Vartan Oskanian claims the party will enter the Parliament with the programs, which were voiced during the election campaign, he told the journalists after the MP mandate distribution ceremony held in the Central Electoral Commission on Wednesday.

“The party voiced necessity of changes in political, economic and social fields during the election campaign. We promised people and we will be consistent in realizing those programs through our work in the Parliament,” Oskanian said adding the PAP will be an alternative to authorities and political majority in the Parliament.

Asked why he avoids using the term opposition, he said that the party will work in a constructive field and will be an alternative to the government. The fact that the PAP failed to achieve agreement and form coalition, testifies to the difference in their programs, this was the reason not to enter coalition, Oskanian added.

Regarding rumors circulated in media outlets that not all PAP members are satisfied with the decision, Oskanian said there are no disagreements within the party.
