On June 30, political technologist Karen Kocharyan declared at the press conference that besides the Armenian National Congress, the Republican and "Prosperous Armenia" parties the only force, which has a chance to enter the future parliament, is the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun. He underlined that the first 3 parties will pass to the NA surely, but Dashnakcutyun will pass only in case of good work. In his words “Orinats Yerkir” party is not a political force at all. K.Kocharyan noted that the party has made its electorate closer to zero. “Heritage” party has also lost its electorate to some degree as it hasn’t organized political campaigns, and the social campaigns are more considered to be organized by Zaruhi Postianjan in person. On the contrary, "Prosperous Armenia" party has increased its share in the electorate. K. Kocharyan noted that Dashnakcutyun has a very stable nationalist electorate, which may abolish, however, if a more radical nationalist political power appears in the field. According to him if the nationalist forces unite in one alliance, for example, Dashnakcutyun, “Sardarapat” movement and “Heritage", they may succeed, but in the case of operating separately they may atomize the electorate. K. Kocharyan evaluates chances of former RA President Robert Kocharyan very low. He disagreed with the observation that the former president's reputation declined during the last three years as a result of the "black PR". According to him, Robert Kocharyan had a very high rating only in 1998, at the presidential elections, and then at the presidential election of 2003 his rating was already very low and it was even continuously falling. Karen Kocharyan thinks that Serzh Sargsyan has the best public perception in terms of pure human from the three Armenian presidents.
