ArmInfo. The opposition should be unified at the election for the
Council of Elders and mayor of Yerevan, spokesman of "Heritage" party
Hovsep Khurshudyan said at today's press-conference. Talking about
the decision of the Armenian National Congress to take part in the
election of the Council of Elders with a separate list, Khurshudyan
said: 'We proposed ANC to participate in the election with a common
list, as it would assure our victory. However, ANC made a decision
without preliminary negotiations with us'.
According to Khurshudyan, if 'Heritage' agrees to take part in the
election with ANC- proposed list, this version would fail. 'The rival
of Gagik Beglaryan at the election should be a young man, and such
a deserved and experienced political activist as Levon Ter-Petrosyan
had to help him to gain victory, the spokesman said.
However, Khurshudyan said, there is still a way out, the discussions
between the ANC and "Heritage" party may go on. So, "Heritage" party
will separately participate in the election to avoid "scattering" of
the opposition's electorate. According to Khurshudyan, the relevant
decision will be made on March 20.
