ARFD Party has a right to run to the Elders' Council of Yerevan
independently as a political force having a 120-year-old history. It
is free in its decisions, Armen Martirosyan, Vice Chairman of the
Heritage Party Board, said in an open-air conference in the Liberty
Sqaure on March 13 when commenting on recent Mass Media rumors. In
particular, by some media reports ARFD list will be topped by Armen
Rustamyan, representative of the ARFD Supreme Body if the negotiations
for participation in the elections to the Elders' Council of Yerevan
in a single list with other political forces.
Martirosyan said that Heritage is not against running to the Elders'
Council in an enlarged format, because the matter concerns not the
party but the nation-wide fight and a consolidated participation in
the elections would reflect and consolidate that fight.
In the meanwhile, the ruling Republican Party has already declared
that Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan will top the RPA list.
Sixty-five members of the Elders' Council must be elected to further
elect the Yerevan mayor. So far, it is known that Emergency Situations
Minister, Armen Yeritsyan, will head the Orinats Yerkir party list
and ex-FM Vartan Oskanyan will top the Prosperous Armenia Party list.
