    OPPOSITION WAS UNABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ITS VOTES

    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.
