Member of ARF-D Supreme Body, deputy of the National Assembly of the
Republic of Armenia, who heads the list of ARF-D in the elections of
Yerevan Council of Elders, Armen Rustamyan today during a meeting
with reporters, referring to the process of the election campaign,
upcoming May 5 elections, said that the government is doing everything
possible to reduce the role of elections of yerevan Council of Elders.
According to Armen Rustamyan, in our country the electorate is formed
by kinship and personal relations, and the task of ARF-D is to prove
that the elections are of major political significance.
Armen Rustamyan is convinced that the Republican Party is making
every effort to avoid even one elected village head of another party,
to say nothing about the Mayor of Yerevan, as if the Republican Party
will go to such a concession, this one-man system will come to an end.
“Today, the situation in our country has changed. The time has come
when to buy a voice of people is not easy. People are so tired of all
this that they have nothing to lose. A one-way out in the country is
to achieve regime change”, Armen Rustamyan said.
During the conference, journalists asked Armen Rustamyan, if he does
not notice similarity between election campaigns of ARF-D and Raffi
Hovannisian, referring to welcoming citizens, to which he replied:
“Raffi did not start greeting. If you want to know first who began
to shake hands with the citizens was our Artsvik Minasyan, who in
2009 greeted everyone. ”
