The political forces that took part in the elections to the Council  of Elders of Yerevan are satisfied with their organization and  conduct

ArmInfo. The political forces  My Step, the Prosperous Armenia Party, the Luys bloc, the ARF  Dashnaktsutyun party and the Heritage party congratulated the  citizens of Armenia on holding the first fair and free elections in  the last 23 years. This was announced on September 24 by  representatives of these political forces.

In particular, the representative of the Luys bloc, Ani Samsonyan,  noted that the elections marked the victory of the revolution, which  is important for the whole republic. "Except for minor technical  violations, as well as violations related to the publication of  voting results of some citizens, the elections were held at a high  level," Samsonyan said.

Representative of the ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" David Hakobyan stressed  that the most important is that the elections in the country are not  shared by various political forces and society. "Elections in general  should not be viewed as a struggle for life and death, yes, the  process of agitation was very intense, but that does not mean that we  have become enemies." The main thing is for the revolution to  continue in all spheres, " Hakobyan said.

In turn, Arman Abovyan, representing the Prosperous Armenia party,  expressed his hope that soon black PR will cease to be used, which,  this time, was actively used in the course of the election campaign.  Also, Abovian expressed hope that the representatives of the "My  step" block will fulfill all their pre-election promises.

The representative of the Heritage Party Andranik Grigoryan stated  that the specter of Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party of  Armenia still hung during the elections, the latter expressed the  hope that this will not happen again in the next elections. "More  recently, RPA representatives have privatized the entire political  field, and the main task for us was to get rid of the Republican  Party." We achieved this, but I would hope that the My Step block  will not repeat ANM's errors when only representatives of the given  party, "Grigoryan said.

In turn, the representative of the "My step" bloc Vahan Kostanyan  noted that for the first time in recent years the elections in  Yerevan were held in an upbeat and festive mood. "It is noteworthy  that for the first time in the past 23 years, honest elections were  held in Armenia.As for the fact that the bloc" My step "gained 81% of  votes, this once again proves that the revolution in Armenia is  continuing and that it is necessary to organize early elections to  the parliament, "Kostanyan said.
