GALUST SAHAKYAN'S RESPONSE
- "I won't respond to that because that is not the official position of Prosperous Armenia Party(BHK). When all the political parties will be ready and after all the consultations are over, the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) will come to a conclusion and will present its official position and approaches to the public," said member of the HHK Executive Body Galust Sahakyan.
This was his response after former Minister of Foreign Affairs, second deputy on the BHK proportional list Vardan Oskanyan announced that the number of voters had increased by nearly 160,000, which is doubtful and that he would be against the formation of a coalition under such a condition.
