Most Yerevan civilians don't want Erwand Zakharyan to be elected
the Yerevan Mayor as they are discontent with his work. Most of our
respondents say they would vote down Erwand Zakharyan if the latter
ran for the mayor.
I am not pleased with Zakharyan's work as during his tenure Yerevan
fully lost its face. Each city stands out with its history and image
but Erwand Zakharyan did his best to stain Yerevan's image. Corruption
boosted during his office. A good mayor should love his city and
should do everything to tackle the existing problems but Zakharyan
has neglected all his responsibilities," says mechanical engineer
Lena Davtyan.
Surely, I am not pleased with Zakharyan's work. He is not a suitable
candidate for the post. Gagik Beglaryan is rumoured to run for the
mayor. Let's not forget that Yerevan is our capital city with a lot of
garbage in its central streets. Millions of drams have been squandered
under the guise of road construction," says Hrachya Atarbekyan.
Erwand Zakharyan must be made accountable for the fate of numerous
Yerevan citizens who were made homeless and forced into streets. They
were not even fully compensated for their alienated homes. Zakharyan
made a grave mistake treating these people so brutally and sooner
or later he will be made accountable, said Vardan Sargsyan, a former
resident of Yerevan's Kentron district.
Head nurse Karine Aghabekyan is of a different opinion. She is pleased
with the acting mayor's work and wants him to be reelected. "If
someone else is elected, he will fist think of his wallet. Zakharyan
has a long work experience."
Many say no matter who is elected to the post nothing will change in
the city.
Remind that the election to the City Mayor is scheduled for May
31. The Municipal Council of 65 members will elect a mayor for four
years' term. The Coalition is supposed to nominate Erwand Zakharyan
or Gagik Beglaryan.
Erwand Zakharyan has held the post since 2003.
