Armen Martirosian: By accepting mandates, we don’t legitimize elections
Friday,
May 17
I don’t think that by accepting our mandates in the Yerevan Council of
Elders, we legitimize the elections. The deputy chairman of Heritage
Party Armen Martirosian, who tops the list of Hello Yerevan bloc of
parties’ list of candidates to Yerevan Council of Elders, expressed
this opinion at a meeting with reporters today.
`We have no choice but to struggle and use our levers to solve the
problems. People trusted us and we should justify their trust,’ Armen
Martirosian said, adding that Hello Yerevan bloc is going to be a
restrictive link in the Yerevan Council.
`We will be the only opposition force there and we should represent
both the society and the other opposition forces that did not win
seats in the Council,’ Heritage Party’s deputy chairman stated.
As regards the May 5 elections to Yerevan Council of Elders, A.
Martirosian said those elections were much worse than the presidential
and parliamentary elections.
`These elections were ten steps backward compared with the previous
two elections,’ Martirosian said.
