"The process of the campaign of the elections for the Yerevan City
Council did not differ from that of any other elections. Furthermore,
it was monotonous and boring, representative of the Heritage faction
Stepan Safaryan told a press conference today.
"There were no debates, no conflict of opinions. We saw no dialogue as
such. Everyone was just presenting his platform, and that's all. The
society had no opportunity to see how the political forces assess each
other's programs. This culture is still missing among us," he said.
The opposition Deputy views the Armenian National Congress, the
Republican Party and the Prosperous Armenia Party as main rivals.
Stepan Safaryan found it hard to say which political force would
get more votes and preferred to refrain from any predictions. As
for voter turnout, the Deputy does not expect great activeness,
but predicts 60% participation.
The Heritage Party will execute control on the election day. It will
hold briefings every four hours to present its remarks and report
about the frauds.
