The pre-election process in the town of Sisian, Syunik region, has
entered an intrigue phase, Hraparak reports. The paper reminds that
first mayor of Sisian, Republican Garnik Hovakimyan will run against
current mayor of Sisian, PAP member Aghasi Hakobjanyan in Sisian
mayoral election.

It was revealed yesterday that RPA’s Sisian territorial organization
will back another candidate, Republican Samvel Tangyan, head of the
department of agriculture and nature protection of Syunik governor’s
office, the paper says.

NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan visited Syunik governor Suren Khachatryan
and, for the sake of his in-law Gagik Tsarukyan, offered the governor
to nominate two Republican candidates simultaneously, expecting that
votes will divide and PAP’s candidate, current mayor will win the
mayoral election, the paper writes.

“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
