program today. The first session of the new parliament will clarify
the attitude of opposition towards the government, News.am reports.
Armen Rustamyan, leader of Dashnaktsutyun, was the first oppositionist
to speak. He was followed by secretary of the Armenian National
Congress Aram Manukyan, Heritage Party leader Ruben Akpyan. The three
party leaders declare themselves oppositionists. Prosperous Armenia
violated the order and did not call itself opposition or supporter
of government. Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan is presenting the
governmental program.

winning 69 seats of parliament, Prosperous Armenia 37, Armenian
National Congress 7, Orinats Yerkir 6, Dashnaktsutyun 5 and heritage 5.
Prosperous Armenia said that it wants to form a coalition with the
