Union of Armenia`s NSS Reserve Officers: power in Yerevan must be  taken

ArmInfo. Power in Yerevan must be taken. This is stated in the statement of the Union of Reserve  Officers of the National Security Service.

"We have already stated that we attach great importance to the  elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan, since if the current  government wins, this will become an additional means of  subordinating the country to Turkish influence. Even today we proceed  from the fact that the opposition is able to defeat a candidate from  the government only in the case of united actions, therefore  participation in the elections is mandatory, and boycotting them for  far-fetched reasons is equated with the behavior characteristic of  the pocket opposition>, the statement says.

NSS reserve officers believe that "even if the "Armenia" and "I have  honor" parliamentary alliances do not present a single candidate in  the elections, they are obliged to support by all possible means the  political force, including those separated from their ranks, which  will act from real opposition positions, will undertake the  commitment to selflessly lead the election campaign to defeat the  current authorities in Yerevan>, the statement says.

It should be reminded that the elections to the Council of Elders of  Yerevan will be held on September 17.  Voters will elect 65 members  of the Council, who, in turn, will elect the mayor of the city.
