As you are already informed, after Henrik Abrahamyan’s resignation the
Central Election Commission made a decision to hold a by-election in
constituency No. 17 on the 24th of August.

The parliamentary candidates of constituency No. 17 are required to
submit relevant documents to the constituency commission till June 15,
18:00 p.m.

Four parliamentary factions including `Heritage’, ARFD, `Rule of Law’
and `Prosperous Armenia’ are not going to nominate a candidate. As to
the Republican, yesterday the party convened a session of the executive
board to decide on a proper candidate.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
