8:42 08/05/2013 " COMMENTS
Member of Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Vartan Oskanian, the party's
top candidate for Yerevan municipal elections, gave an interview to
Azatutyun Radio in which he expressed a doubt that the May 5 elections
were fair.
"How shall I explain that ARFD, Orinats Yerkir and Armenian National
Congress have not entered the Council of Elders? Maybe they have
entered it, we don't know. How shall I know if this result is good
or bad?" Oskanian said.
According to the source, although Prosperous Armenia has not yet
decided whether or not to accept the mandates for the Council of
Elders, it is clear that the top three candidates in the party's list,
Vartan Oskanian, Gurgen Arsenyan and Abraham Manukyan, will renounce
their seats in Yerevan Council of Elders.
Oskanian thinks it would be wrong to renounce all 17 mandates.
"Certainly, from political point of view we might think that we should
not accept them but taking into consideration the interests of the
people, we might think that being here, we can keep these problems in
the focus of attention, put pressure on the majority and communicate
with the people," Oskanian said.
