Artur Baghdasaryan: Orinats Yerkir determined to win Yerevan elections
Orinats Yerkir Party will take an active part in all pre-election processes, and is determined to win Yerevan elections, party’s leader, Artur Baghdasaryan, told a news conference on Saturday.
Baghdasaryan said that Orinats Yerkir will present its election program and vision of Yerevan’s development tomorrow, April 7, at Armenia Marriott Hotel.
“Yerevan elections are a competition of individuals and good managers,” he said.
Baghdasaryan added that he does not want to underestimate the chances of the other contenders, but he thinks that Orinats Yerkir Party’s number one candidate, Armen Yeritsyan, and incumbent Mayor Taron Margaryan are the most competitive mayoral candidates, and they will prove that they are good managers.
The Central Electoral Commission of Armenia (CEC) has registered the lists of all seven political forces for the May 5 elections of Yerevan Council of Elders. Six parties (Republican Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir Party, Prosperous Armenia Party, Armenian National Congress, ARFD, Mission) and one bloc (“Barev, Yerevan”) run in Yerevan elections. The election campaign will kick off on April 7, and will run through May 3.
