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.
