YEREVAN, March 12. / ARKA /. Naira Nahapetyan, head of finance and
credit committee of the Yerevan Council of Elders (City Council)
from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, defended the current
mayor Taron Margarian saying Yerevan mayor should be a man with good
managerial skills, who has done a great deal of job for the city and
who is able to run it.
"City Council elections allow residents of Yerevan to trust the
development of their city to a man who can manage a large modern city -
from garbage collection to construction," she said.
Nahapetyan said the campaign for the elections starts on April 7 and
the Republican Party is going to present the work done by the current
mayor Taron Margarian, who was elected unanimously by the Council of
Elders mayor of Yerevan in 2011 November.
Nahapetyan said the only real candidate is the current mayor who has
proved his abilities in this position.

were paved with asphalt, green areas have expanded by 840 hectares,
more than 40 thousand trees and shrubs have been planted in the city.
She said City Council elections is an election of a man who can run
the city.' In this regard, she added that the opposition Armenian
National Congress, which has 13 seats in the City Council but has
been boycotting its work since 2009, could have contributed to the
development of the city.
Next elections to the Council of Elders will be held on May 5, 2013.

to nominate candidates for mayor belongs to the factions within the
