YEREVAN. – “The governors of Vayots Dzor and Gegharkunik Regions
yesterday [Monday] withdrew from the proportional [election] list
of the [ruling coalition’s Prosperous Armenia Party] PAP [for the
forthcoming parliamentary elections]. And to learn the reason, we asked
PAP Chairman’s press officer Khachik Galstyan,” Iravunk daily writes.
‘”They withdrew because they are carrying out their executive powers,
and in that sense [their] participation in the pre-election campaign
with the corresponding electoral system would have impeded.’
To our question, ‘wasn’t it clear until then that those combined
activities could have interfered with one another?’, Galstyan
responded: ‘You can call them right now and ascertain their personal
view; and they will carry out solely executive powers,'” Iravunk
writes.
