ArmInfo. Orinats Yerkir Party will run for the Elder’s Council of
Yerevan with a slogan ‘Why a woman cannot be mayor?’ Leader of Orinats
Yerkir Party Artur Baghdasaryan said Saturday during presentation of
the party’s election campaign.

He highlighted the importance of municipal elections for the public
life and development of the city and the country on the whole. A.
Baghdasaryan said Yerevan will find its proper place among the best
capital cities across the world which is the aim of the program of
Orinats Yerkir Party. The program is strategic, effective and aimed to
regulate the city. The party is sure in its success at the elections,
he said. In addition, A. Baghdasaryan highlighted the problems of the
city: town planning, city economy, transport and communications, social
and educational spheres. Heghine Bisharyan ranks the first in the
proportional list of the party. Then go Henrik Bakunts, the head of the
neurological clinic ‘Nairi’ and Grigory Bahanyan, Adviser at the
Constitutional Court.

The law on the local self-government in Yerevan has come into force
recently. It stipulates that the Elder’s Council through proportional
elections will elect Yerevan Mayor. The elections will be held on May
31. The Elder’s Council will comprise 65 people. The first candidate in
the list of the party that will gain majority at the Council will
automatically become Yerevan Mayor.
