There is a controllable and a scared sphere, which does what it is
ordered to do, the best proof of which is the election in the Erebuni
commune of Yerevan, where they needed no technology, because though
there was some oppositional electorate there, nevertheless the great
part of the citizens did what the government ordered them to do. Stated
the head of the Heritage parliamentary faction Armen Martirosyan,
dwelling on the Yerevan Mayor election.
The parliamentary member stated that there is a mass of people,
which will take part in the election and neither will vote for Levon
Ter-Petrosyan nor for the government, according to Armen Martirosyan
it will vote for some other force.
According to Armen Martirosyan, anyone is able to win in each election
if the agitation and the list are based on serious arguments and
objective assessments, otherwise, we will have such election like
we had on May 31. There were ballot stuffing, double voting, figure
drawing. In reality instead of the official 53, 4 percent, only 40
percent of the Yerevan residents participated in the election. If
we eliminate those, who participated for bribes, the real number of
participants is very low.
The parliamentary member of the Heritage party, Zaruhi Postanjyan
stated, "We witnessed at the Yerevan Mayor election that the HAK
is not a real political force. There is a huge oppositional mass
electorate in Yerevan. The election, of course, was rigged but the
opposition was unable to take care for its votes".
In the morning of March 1 and after it, Levon Ter-Petrosyan had to be
with the people, regardless any kind of home arrest, as the Heritage
did. We have to examine and find the mistakes, in order not to repeat
them in the further struggle, stated Zaruhi Postanjyan.
According to Armen Martirosyan, the oppositional press insulted the
Heritage party for about a week. And there were political figures who
represented it as public demand. Many demanded from the Heritage to
lay down the NA mandates. But time showed that taking part in the NA
works is more expedient than laying down the mandates.
As to their renounce to run for Mayor, their electorate took it
normally, stated the head of the Heritage parliamentary faction.
