/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The Heritage Party and RA National Congress haven't
yet arrived to a mutual decision on the format and the list of
candidates for forthcoming Mayoral Elections. The issue is still under
consideration,' Heritage Faction Leader Armen Martirosyan stated.
As for Heritage, the Party has already discussed and taken a decision
submitted to ANK members' consideration. ` It's great if have a single
candidate, if no ` we'll just repeat the experience of 2007.'
Martirosyan stated. When questioned whether his candidature has been
nominated, Martirosyan responded that though not ambitious, he would
be ready to accept the position should the opposition consider it
necessary.
The Heritage Leader stated that the ruling Republican Party refrained
from putting Taron Margaryan in the top of the list, as he enjoys the
love of people and within some time would refuse to acknowledge the
authorities.
The Government needs a controllable person to hold Yerevan Mayor
position, so the Republican Party decided upon Gagik Beglaryan to top
the candidates list.
According to Martirosyan's forecasts, opposition might have over 60%
votes at Mayoral elections. The outcome depends on how many votes
would authorities deduct, citing electoral violations. `If current
elections register 20% less violations than at 2008 elections, the
Opposition will win the elections, ' Martirosyan told PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
