    ARTSVIK MINASYAN WILL LAY DOWN HIS MANDATE IF...

    "Surely, the election of Yerevan's mayor is politicized. But we
    cannot expect radical changes at this level. People should trust the
    election," says Artsvik Minasyan who heads the candidate list of the
    ARF Dashnaktsutyun at the forthcoming municipal elections.

    The fact that only seven political forces - six parties and one
    alliance, are running in the election for Yerevan's Mayor testifies
    to the progress of our political system. It means we are entering a
    phase of consolidation.

    In case the ARF loses the election, Artsvik Minasyan promises to lay
    down his mandate and work in the Elder's Council.

    "I will lay down my mandate if our party decides that I can be more
    useful as an alderman. Nevertheless, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun longs
    for a victory like the other forces running in the election."

    Unlike the Republican candidate Gagik Beglaryan, the ARF candidate is
    less popular. Atrsvik Minasyan says he doesn't take it seriously. "It's
    better to be less famous in the positive sense than famous in the
    negative sense."

    Realising the advantage of the incumbent Mayor, Artsvik Minasyan is
    not afraid of competition. "I see no problem if the rules of the
    game are maintained," the politician said, meaning the use of the
    much talked administrative levers.

    Artsvik Minasyan says Gagik Beglaryan has a chance to solve problems
    in the city and increase his rating.

    The President shouldn't have appointed someone to the mayoral post
    who would later be nominated by the Republican Party.

    Asked about the draw for signatures, Atrsvik Minasyan said he has
    already raised the issues in the ruling circles.

    I think that administrative levers shouldn't be employed and the
    guarantees should be given by the HHK Leader.

    Atrsvik Minasyan says after becoming mayor he will propose
    collaboration both the authorities and the opposition.
