Yerkir: Coalition's future dim

The newspaper says there are rumors that the Prosperous Armenia party (PAP) is going to quit the ruling coalition.

"Interestingly, most of the members of the party's faction in parliament are not attending the extraordinary parliament session currently under way," the paper comments.

Khachik Galstyan, the spokesman for the party's leader, has been constantly denying the rumors. However, he yesterday reiterated the party's stance that it would announce its candidate for the upcoming presidential election only after the 2012 parliamentary election, the paper says.
