Prospering Armenia party is surprised with its unexpectedly low
results – only 14.7% of votes.

REGNUM reports the member of the party Aram Isabekyan to say that the
elections were normal and the party is glad that the international
observers have approved of the voting process.

To note, the leader of the party is well-known Armenian businessman
Gagik Tsarukyan. The party does not have a clear ideology. Its key
trump is its charitable activity. Earlier experts said that the party
was the president’s project aimed at gaining over part of the
opposition electorate. The party says that it has 400,000 members but
experts doubt that and low 14.7% support has proved their doubts.

To remind, according to the preliminary results, Prospering Armenia
got 204,443 votes (14.7%). Only RPA is ahead with 457,032
(32.8%). ARFD has got 177,192 votes (12.7%), Orinats Yerkir – 95,256
votes (6.8%), Heritage – 80,890 votes (5.8%), United Labor Party –
59,307 votes (4.2%).
