Dashnaktsutyun at the forthcoming municipal elections, told a press
conference today that the Party decided that he had to be on the top
of the list and he was to obey.
As for the fact that he is not very popular,
As for the fact that he is not well-known, Artsvik Minasyan said the
question will be solved during the election campaign.
According to him, it's better to be less famous in the positive sense
than famous in the negative sense. Realizing the advantage of the
incumbent Mayor, Artsvik Minasyan is not afraid of competition. "I see
no problem id the rules of the game are maintained," the politician
said, meaning the use of the much talked about administrative levers.
"Only the President of the republic can guarantee that administrative
resources are not used. Of course, if we look at the legislation,
the electoral commissions should also oppose such behavior. I hope the
President of the republic will publicly declare that the administrative
levers should not be an election tool. At least in the elections to
the Yerevan City Hall the public should be allowed to vote based on
its will," Artsvik Minasyan said.
