/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Yerevan is going to hold elections for the Elders'
and not the Mayor's. The Mayor's elections are to be held at the next
stage only. The RA Republican Party is getting seriously prepared for
the elections, we have great expectations, said Galoust Sahakyan ,
head of Republican faction, RA Parliament deputy.'
As he says, Mayor's elections do not differ from Parliamentary
elections in terms of seriousness and political value. For the first
time both citizens and various Parliamentary and extraparliamentary
political forces will take an active part in the elections.
Galoust Sahakyan emphasized that the Republican Party of RA and the
coalition parties discussed the chances to nominate a single
candidate, but decided to participate separately in the elections as
they think it a very suitable chance to exercise their abilities.
`Every political team has its own measurement format, and I would not
like the opposition to take up the position of a loser at this
stage. During these elections the opposition must show its
determination,' Galoust Sahakyan said.
When asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter about his attitude towards
the statements made by the deputies of «Heritage»
faction regarding Gagik Beglaryan's appointment which proves that the
Republican Party is not prepared to face the opposition openly, he
replied that such statements are natural on the part of the
opposition. Today they are already talking of unfair conditions since
they do not have the real chances to overcome the 7% barrier.
When asked whether Gagik Beglaryan's appointment as a Mayor will help
or, on the contrary, upset Beglaryan himself, he said the Party never
discussed this question. `The Mayor has very powerful structures, and
they are expected to work, Sahakyan added.'
