CERTAIN FORCES SEEKING POSTS IN YEREVAN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS - ARMEN MARTIROSYAN
12:30 ~U 18.04.13
Heritage party Vice-Chairman Armen Matrirosyan, who tops the list of
the Barev Yerevan (Hello, Yerevan) bloc in the upcoming elections to
Yerevan's Council of Elders, believes that the election campaign is
being marred by the authorities employing administrative resources
and certain political forces seeking posts.
"Certain political forces are posing as opposition ones, seeking
to grab some posts," Martirosyan told Tert.am. On the other hand,
forces like Barev Yerevan are really struggling reforms.
His advice is to view political forces' teams as a whole rather
than look at the candidates that top the lists to see the particular
political forces and their members running for Yerevan's Council of
Elders - oligarchs, criminals, big business or citizens involved in
the struggle. "This is of paramount importance and the Barev Yerevan
bloc stands out," he said.
The Barev Yerevan bloc launched its election campaign on April 17.
It is not too late. In contrast to other political forces, the Heritage
party has been politically active for a long period. "So we have no
problem of stepping up our activities or introducing ourselves to
society," Martirosyan told Tert.am.
As regards the tendencies in public attitude to the Heritage party, he
believes that the Barev Yerevan bloc may lay serious claims to victory.
