Armenian PM Expects ‘Cooperation=?UTF-8?B?4oCZIA==?=With Departing Coalition Partner

The Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) will not necessarily join the opposition despite its decision pull out of the country's governing coalition, Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian said over the weekend.

"We respect the decision of partners, and I am convinced that our cooperation will continue," Sarkisian told reporters during a visit to Armenia's second largest city of Gyumri.

"Who said that the BHK will be in opposition?" he said when asked about the party's new political status after the May 6 parliamentary elections controversially won by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK).

Hovik Abrahamian, the HHK's election campaign manager, similarly suggested last week that the BHK, the official election runner-up, will not become an opposition force.
