Campaigning for the Feb. 12 mayoral elections in the northeastern
Armenian city of Hrazdan will officially begin on Jan. 25. Competing
for the position will be two members of the ruling Republican Party
of Armenia, current mayor Aram Danielyan and his advisor Hovhannes
Prtavyan, as well as Armenian National Congress member Sasun Mikaelyan
(no party affiliation).
Mesrop Mesropyan, responsible for press and campaign issues at
Mikaelyan's campaign headquarters, stressed that their campaign will
incorporate all those methods used in election campaigns - meetings in
residential courtyards and town halls, televised speeches, booklets,
election videos and so on.
"We are preparing to hold normal elections. We have the a wide array
of people's support. The current mayor, who has worked for 10 years,
has done nothing good for the city - or has been unable to do so. We
have entered this electoral race not against anyone but for something.
And in this fight, we will win. This, firstly, is not a political
but a vital demand. Hrazdan has become 'a city of dead souls' because
the current mayor has done nothing in practice," he said.
Mesropyan added that ahead of the last elections mayor Aram Danielyan
had promised to renvamp the park in front of Hrazdan city hall, but
till today the park is in a partly unfinished state. Furthermore,
during Danielyan's term, Hrazdan's movie theatre was appropriated
and now houses a taxi service.
