ArmInfo.Immediately after the elections and passing to parliament, the National Democratic Pole (renamed "Sasna Tsrer"), in accordance with the requirements of the transitional period, will begin to form a transitional government, Vahe Gasparyan, a cardiac surgeon by profession, candidate for prime minister from the NDP, told reporters on June 20 after voting.
Despite the tight deadlines and unequal conditions, the member of the NDP council is satisfied with the work of the party during the agitation campaign. "We do not doubt our weighty presence in parliament," Gasparyan said. At the same time, the head of the NDP ruled out the possibility of forming a coalition both by the current government and with the political forces representing the previous government.
Referring to the talks about possible post-election clashes, the leader of the NDP said that there is reason to think that the ground is being laid for the establishment of chaos in the country. The prime minister's candidate urged citizens not to succumb to provocations and to act within the law.
Let us remind that the electoral list of the NDP is headed by Vahe Gasparyan, Varuzhan Avetisyan, Kara Chobanyan, Garegin Chukaszyan, Areg Kyureghian and others. Zhirayr Sefilyan is not on the electoral list, since the term of his citizenship does not allow doing this, but, according to the NDP members, he takes an active part in the campaign.
