    ARMENPRESS
    June 1, 2009

    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: According to the initial results of
    elections three political powers will be represented in the Council
    of Yerevan Elders - Armenian Republican Party (nearly 47.1%),
    "Prosperous Armenia Party" (nearly 22.6%) and "Armenian National
    Congress" (nearly 17.3%) the other parties did not overcome the
    fixed pre-election barrier of 7%. Thus the ARP got more than 40% of
    the places and according to the law "On the local self-governance in
    the town of Yerevan" the overwhelming majority of the places will be
    given to this party.

    According to the same law if as a result of elections of Council of
    Elders one of the Parties gets more than 50% of places of Council
    of Elders, that's to say the absolute majority, the person who is in
    the first place of the party list is considered elected mayor.

    The mayor assumes his post on the third calendar day after being
    elected with the oath given to the residents of Yerevan during the
    session of Council of Elders. According to the law the first session
    of newly elected Council of Elders is summoned on the first Monday
    after the official publication of the decision on the election of
    members of Council of Elders.

    According to the Electoral Code the Central Electoral Commission
    not later than in 7 days after the voting summarizes the results of
    elections. Thus the session of Council of Elders is scheduled for
    June 8.

    The Council of Elders may have factions which are established on
    the opening day of the first session of the newly elected Council
    of Elders; not more than 4 permanent commissions as well as ad hoc
    commissions may be established.

    The town of Yerevan is divided into 12 administrative regions the
    heads of which are appointed and dismissed by the Mayor. After the
    elections of Council of Elders the district communities of Yerevan
    are considered re-formulated as Yerevan community.
