‘PLUNDERER’ MAYOR OR ‘CLEAN ANC’ – ARMENIAN OPPOSITION REP
14:40 ~U 03.05.13
Levon Zurabyan, Head of the Armenian National Congress (ANC)
parliamentary group, addressed the upcoming elections to Yerevan’s
Council of Elders at a press briefing in Armenia’s parliament.
According to him, Yerevan residents have to decide between a
“plunderer” mayor and “a clean political force, the ANC.”
The ANC has informed Armenia’s society and prosecutor’s office of
the crimes allegedly committed by Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan.
“In fact, they themselves presented a list which shows that the mayor,
who has for years held government offices, has amassed an enormous
fortune – estimated at six to ten million dollars. He has neither
inherited nor has it been his salary or his income. This is glaring
evidence of plundering,” Zurabyan said.
The problem is actually the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
rather than Taron Margaryan himself.
“It is the RPA, which has nominated him against the people. They have
laid down their cards,” he said.
“Do the people want to put an end to this plunder and trust the state
power to a political force like the ANC, a force with an unblemished
reputation, which is nominating a clean candidate and young people,
who are not afraid of police batons, committed to democracy and fair
government principles,” Zurabyan said.
