    Armen Martirosyan: "My fight is not against Taron Margaryan, I have no
    opponents among candidates for Yerevan mayor"

    Armen Martirosyan, mayoral contender, number one in the list
    proportional representation of Heritage Party for the elections to the
    Elders' Council of Yerevan, believes that he has no opponents among
    candidates for Yerevan mayor because the upcoming elections are
    continuation of the presidential one where the winner was Leader of
    Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian and his revolution movement "Barev".
    Martirosyan made such statement to ArmInfo.

    "We do not fight against parties or persons. Consequently, my fight is
    not aimed against the incumbent Mayor Taron Margaryan. Irrespective
    of Vice Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov's praises to Taron Margaryan, it is
    time of structural changes. This system serves a group of privileged
    persons and not the citizens of Yerevan, no matter who is on the post
    of the mayor," Martirosyan said. He is sure that any hardworking and
    compassionate citizen can be useful for his city and the country. One
    is not born a mayor, but rather becomes mayor, he said.

    Martirosyan said that he is not concerned about possible election
    rigging, because he thinks that people are more active and decisive to
    protect their votes now rather than in the course of the presidential
    election. "If the people were as decisive at the Feb 18 election as
    now, we would not fight in the Liberty Square now to get back our
    seized victory," Martirosyan said.

    The politician said that at the elections to the Elders' Council,
    Heritage will send its proxies to all the polling stations and will
    have its members in the election commissions. He said that much
    depends on these persons and called on everyone to register at the
    party's head office to undergo relevant training courses. The
    politician also said that participation of other opposition forces in
    the elections will be positive and allow controlling the election by
    combined efforts.

    He said that in case of victory at the elections to the Elders'
    Council of Yerevan and if elected to the post of Yerevan Mayor, he
    will not make personnel reshuffles and all the conscientious employees
    will remain on their positions. Among the prior goals on the post of
    the mayor Martirosyan outlined depolitization of the municipality,
    solution of the transport problems and construction of new underground
    lines.
