Head of the Republcian Party faction Galust Sahakyan told a press
conference today that the past elections for the Yerevan City Council
shaped a new electoral culture. The participating political forces
tried to win the trust of the electors not guided by the principle
of slandering each other. That is why, according to Galust Sahakyan,
the elections passed without essential violations.
"Every team tried to demonstrate greater correctness," Galust Sahakyan
said. According to him, tensions at some polling stations were
natural, because the electorate was large and the polls were being
organized by almost 80 thousand people altogether. "I think there was
certain tension, but it cold not affect the "good" assessment of the
elections," he said.
Regarding the statement of the Armenian National Congress on refusal
from the mandates, the Republican MP said they were not going to
oppose the decision. "They are a team that has 70 thousand votes,
and we would not like to offend the voters."
