Yesterday Samvel Balasanyan, the mayor of Gyumri and a member of the
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), stated that he would endorse the
candidacy of Arman Sahakyan, a Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
candidate nominated in no. 35 electoral district of Gyumri. It is
interesting that RPA candidate Arman Sahakyan and the head of the
ANC district organization will struggle for this office vacated by S.
Balasanyan. And regardless of
the fact that the ANC and the PAP state about their cooperation in
the struggle against the regime, lo and behold, the PAP mayor endorses
not the ANC, but the RPA candidate. What does the ANC think about this?
www.aravot.am got the ANC members' answers to this question. Lyudmila
Sargsyan, a member of the ANC parliamentary group, noted during
a conversation with us, "Samvel Balasanyan was nominated by the
RPA, rather than the PAP. And there was nothing surprising in that
statement. Samvel Balasanyan's statement doesn't mean that the local
organization will endorse the RPA candidate."
According to Zoya Tadevosyan, a member of the ANC, "The time has come
for Samvel Balasanyan to repay his debt." Then Z. Tadevosyan explained,
"Samvel Balasanyan got the RPA go-ahead and he owed them.
The time has come to repay his debt."
In response to our question whether this decision of Samvel Balasanyan
wouldn't have a negative impact on further cooperation between the ANC
and the PAP, Ms. Tadevosyan said the following, "The cooperation is on
struggling against the regime with a joint candidate or struggling
jointly. The PAP bears responsibility toward the people whom it
has made promises that the current situation in the country will
be changed. It should fulfill that promise. If it doesn't do that,
it bears responsibility toward the voters that voted for the PAP."
