    MEMBER OF RPA FACTION: RPA IS PREPARED TO USE ALL ITS RESOURCES FOR HOLDING FAIR ELECTIONS

    Noyan Tapan
    May 8, 2009

    YEREVAN, MAY 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The elections of Yerevan Council of
    Elders are undoubtedly political ones as they are being held only
    by the proportional electoral system, and the parties running in
    these elections present their pre-election programs on development of
    Yerevan. Karen Avagian, a member of the National Assembly "Republican
    Party of Armenia" (RPA) faction, said this at the May 8 discussion "The
    Role of Parties in the Organization and Control of Elections of Yerevan
    Council of Elders" organized at the National Press Club. At the same
    time he noted that there will be a team struggle in these elections,
    and not the mayor but his political team will bear responsibility
    for solution of Yerevan problems. K. Avagian assured those present
    that the RPA is in favor of transparent and fair elections and it is
    going to use all its resources with this aim.

    With the assistance of the National Democracy Institute of the US,
    the National Press Club (NPC) intends to hold a number of discussions
    on elections of the Yerevan Council of Elders. Representatives of
    all the political forces running in the elections of the Council of
    Elders will be invited to discussions.

    In the words of the NPC Chairwoman Narine Mkrtchian, all 7
    political forces have received an invitation to take part in the
    given discussion, but only 5 have accepted it. Representative of
    the Armenian National Congress Vahagn Khachatrian was not present
    for unknown reasons, while "Prosperous Armenia" Party (PAP) refused
    to participate in advance. According to PAP, during the election
    propaganda campaign, representatives of their party will not make
    speeches at any press club.
