Armenian Community Candidates Did Not Win Local Election in Belgium
As reported earlier, ethnic Armenian candidates were included in election lists of various parties at regional elections in Belgium. In Jette Brussels district, where Armenians compactly live, Melik Melikyan was nominated from the Liberal Party, while Krikor Kaspar represented socialists. As the Armenian community of Brussels told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, none of Armenian candidates won the elections. As for ethnic Turk candidates, they won in regions, where the Turkish population forms the majority.
