On April 28, an ARF-D delegation comprised of the party's Supreme
Council of Armenia Vice Chairmen Aghvan Vardanyan (2nd place on the
list of candidates) and Arsen Hambartsumyan (3rd place on the list
of candidates), MP, Artsvik Minasyan and party candidates walked the
streets of Avan. The ARF-D members introduced the party's platform
to the local residents and urged them to cast their ballots in favor
of the opposition on the May 5 Yerevan municipal election and in
particular to vote for ARF-D which is determined to form an alliance of
the opposition forces that will be elected. Former ARF-D MP, Artashes
Shahbazyan, who is a resident of Avan spoke about the concequences
of having a one-party monopoly and how that affects every aspect of
the life of Armenians. "On May 5, we'll go to the polling stations
and we'll say "No" to these consequences, giving our vote to ARF-D"
said Shahbazyan.
Rustamyan: We Must Be Freed From The Regime The Soonest Possible
"We see this election as being not only about Yerevan but a serious
opportunity to change the fate of our country through an election
process. We want to realize radical reforms in the country through
this election" said ARF-D Supreme Council of Armenia and Head of the
list of candidates, Armen Rustamyan to Aygestan residents, yerkir.am
reports. Rustamyan reminded that ARF-D has spoke about those radical
reforms with its seven-point platform which was put together ahead
of the February 18, presidential election. "The main cause for the
situation Armenia is in today, is the fact that the ruling political
party has become one with the state. As long as we don't defeat this
cause, our problems won't be solved. This situation has become dreadful
for everyone" he said. "The country has been divided in two. From
one side there is a 3-5% of privileged people who have accumulated
incalculable wealth and from the other, there is us who are left in the
mercy of fate. This is why migration has broken all the records. People
tell you, that they are ready to leave the country as soon as they find
a way to do that. This is indicative of our crisis. This is the final
point and we must change it the earliest possible" Rustamyan stated. In
his opinion Yerevan could be totally different had the mayor made use
of his rights. But he passed those on to the ruling political party
of whom he is a member. If there is no order in the capital then one
shouldn't expect much from the other regions. Having a mayor from the
opposition will lead to competitiveness between the political forces
who will strive to prove they are better than their counterparts.
