Adibekian: ARFD and HAK unlikely to overcome election threshold
Saturday,April 27
Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) will gain a landslide victory in the
elections to Yerevan Council of Elders, if the incumbent Mayor Taron
Margarian who tops the party list will continue a mild election
campaign, not yielding to provocations of the opposition and mass
media. Director of Sociometer sociological center Aharon Adibekian
expressed that opinion at the meeting with reporters today.
He said that the fact the opposition forces did not unite has
strengthened the position of the mayor's teammates. In his words, even
in case of the opposition's unification, they would not be a serious
rival to HHK.
`In the Council of Elders too, the opposition will not be able to
forge an alliance capable of launching a challenge against the
authorities - especially as not all forces will be represented there,'
Adibekian noted.
The sociologist predicted that HHK and Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK),
as well as Hello Yerevan bloc of parties and Orinats Yerkir party
(OEK) will get into Council of Elders. `ARF-Dashnaktsutyun and
Armenian National Congress (HAK) are unlikely to overcome the election
threshold. HAK has lost its radical electorate that it had at one time
thanks to Levon Ter-Petrosian,' Adibekian said.
