The candidate of the Bargavach Hayastan Party won the mayoral elections
in Ijevan. The BHP deployed 'troops' in Ijevan including members of
parliament, NGOs and sportsmen.
The polling stations were under rigid control, and the Republicans
did not support their candidate actively.
The mayoral election in Ijevan is remarkable for several reasons.
First, the election campaign was conducted in a "separated" community,
all the forces and election technologies were tried out. Then, the
local phase of the Republican-Bargavach Hayastan "conflict" was tested
under the conditions of relative passiveness of the Republicans.
But the most interesting thing is that in Ijevan the election was
marked by an "all parties v the Republican" situation.
The Armenian National Congress, ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage somehow
supported the BHK candidate. This circumstance can be important first
because the Armenian political forces, despite their disagreements,
actually "unite" for a common goal in election processes.
Of course, this goal can seem very local at this moment but this fact
proves that the political forces can cooperate for holding a normal
election and any refusal to cooperate for this aim is unacceptable
for the society.
The next point is the fact that the Republicans did not resort to
"traditional" methods this time for the victory of their candidate.
Instead, the RPA can reprove its coalition partner BHK and other
political forces for showing "excessive activeness" in a mayoral
election.
