YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The rumors on including former RA President Robert Kocharian in the Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia) party list in Yerevan council of elders elections do not correspond to reality. Naira Zohrabian, a member of the RA National Assembly Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia) faction, stated at the March 20 parliamentary press briefing. She said that party's electoral roll consisting of 122 persons is already ready and will be handed to CEC in a few hours. As it had been already informed, Minister of Health Haroutiun Kushkian heads the BH list, BH faction member Mkhitar Mnatsakanian is the second, and YSU senior lecturer Margarita Matevosian is the third on the list. It was also mentioned that former Mayor Yervand Zakharian was appointed head of BH preelection headquarters and Naira Zohrabian was appointed responsible person for promotion. In response to the question of whether BH indeed is not going to work in favor of the RPA candidate in Mayor's elections, N. Zohrabian stated that BH has never run for any election by a predetermined scenario. According to her, the party is disposed very seriously and will run for the elections for the purpose of winning.
