Armenian Democratic Party won't participate in Council of Elders election
Yerevan needs a Mayor capable of returning true face to the city, Armenian Democratic Party Leader Aram Sargsyan told a news conference. ''We gave close consideration to the Draft Law on Local Government in Yerevan and submitted our remarks to RA Parliament. Yet legislative authorities chose to oversee our suggestions. Under imperfect legislation in this particular sphere, ADP thought it best to refrain from participation in Mayoral elections.''
''ADP will not cast votes if unsatisfied with the candidates' election programs. Nominated parties spend significant funds on election campaigns, but time will come when election program will matter more,'' Aram Sargsyan emphasized.
ADP Leader refused to comment on Heritage decision to recall their participation in Mayoral elections, deeming public discussion of other parties' steps politically incorrect.
