The "Heritage" party was confident that it was necessary to participate
in the elections of the Yerevan Mayor with a joint candidate list,
and made a corresponding proposal to the Armenian National Congress.
However, the Congress made the decision without asking the
"Heritage." Spokesman for "Heritage" Party Hovsep Khurshudyan told a
press conference today that he was sorry for it. He said the decision
had to be taken jointly irrespective of the fact what the list would
look like. According to him, it would ensure an atmosphere of unity
and joint struggle.
"Our approach was as follows: there are many voters, who find it
hard to case their votes for Levon Ter-Petrosyan, since it brought
to rather negative results after the presidential elections. Those
electors are rather independent. Many of them did not participate in
the elections or voted for another candidate, even after the so many
forces supported Levon Ter-Petrosyan and the "Heritage" urged to vote
for him," Hovsep Khurshudyan noted, adding that this reality should
have been taken into consideration.
"We do believe that it was, probably, the resource that would bring
victory to the opposition," Hovsep Khurshudyan said.
The Speaker said the "Heritage" has not taken the final decision on
participation in the elections. He assured, however, that whatever
decision is made, it will proceed from the logic of the opposition's
victory.
