Entrepreneur Silva Hambardzumyan has not ruled out the possibility of
putting forth her nomination in Syunik marz (province) to run in next
year's parliamentary elections, reports local daily Haykakan Jamanak
("Armenian Times").
"I still have time to think [about it]... I'll respond more completely
one month later," she told the newspaper's reporter, adding that if
she is nominated, she will most certainly win.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's brother, Sashik Sargsyan,
was elected the MP from Syunik marz in the 2007 National Assembly
elections. The newspaper's sources, however, note that Serzh Sargsyan,
keeping in mind PR considerations, won't allow for Sashik Sargsyan's to
be nominated as a MP candidate this time. It's likely that nominated
in this constituency on a majority electoral system might also be
Syunik marzpet (regional governor) Suren Khachatryan.
Recall, Silva Hambardzumyan charged that Suren Khachatryan attacked
her as she was leaving a Yerevan hotel on Nov. 14.
Subsequently, Armenia's Special Investigative Service launched
proceedings specified by RA Criminal Code Article 118 ("Battery or
committal of other violent acts... is punished with a fine in the
amount of up to 100 minimal salaries, or correctional labor for up
to 1 year, or with arrest for the term of up to 2 months").
