"Enlightened Armenia", "Prosperous Armenia" and  "Armenian  Renaissance" applied to the Prime Minister offering to hold new  elections in Vanadzor. 

ArmInfo.The parties of " Enlightened Armenia", "Prosperous Armenia" and "Armenian Renaissance" applied to the Prime Minister offering to disband  Elders' Council of Vanadzor and to hold new elections there. 

The reason for such an application was the fact it is already three  months  that Vanadzor Council of Elders was unable to arrange and to  hold meetings due to the boycott of these three powers. The  application of three parties particularly reads: " We  ask You to  take into consideration and to implement the appropriate provisions  of the Law on Local Self Government stating that in the case of  impossibility to hold sessions of Elder's Council the Council should  be disbanded and new elections  to be arranged."

To mention, after the Vanadzor Elder's Council elections a casual  situation occurred. The   ruling Republican Party could not get the  absolute victory despite having more votes than other parties  participated. To support own candidate for Vanadzor Mayor position  republicans should obtain other political powers' votes during close  secret voting. But three oppositional streams of  EAP, PAP and ARP  consolidated and supported Christ Marukyan, candidate from Prosperous  Armenia.  But during the secret voting three candidates did not keep  their words, and voted for authorities'  candidates. Further same  representatives came to another agreement - to boycott Elders Council  sessions and not to allow republican  mayor of Vanadzor  to take  decisions. As a result, it is already three months that the work of  Vanadzor Municipality and Elders Council is blocked. Opposition  states that the appropriate law gives an option to disband the  Council and to arrange new elections, and the authorities are stating  the opposite.
