ArmInfo.Heritage will not participate Yerevan Council of Elders in order to prevent grinder of votes of oppositional Constituent Body, Raffi Hovhannisian's statement reads.
"Overshadowed by violence and political persecutions-and marred by rampant bribery and falsification-the recent parliamentary elections demonstrated yet again the ruling party's incapacity to organize free, fair and legal elections", he stressed, adding that he wishes success to all oppositional forces participating in the elections.
Accoording to him, for the sake of the Capital and the Republic entire, in reality it is imperative that Mr. Margaryan and his party themselves become the honest, law- abiding opposition throughout the land-and beginning from Yerevan.
To note, Yerevan Council of Elders elections will participate three political forces:RPA, Yerkir Tsirani and Yelk bloc. The Mayor candidate from the RPA is the current Mayor Taron Margaryan, from Yerkir Tsirani Zaruhi Postanjyan, from Yelk bloc Nikol Pashinyan.
