Epress.am News from Armenia
Armenian National Congress representative, former National Assembly deputy Sasun Mikaelyan today put forth his candidacy for the position of Hrazdan mayor. Mikaelyan conveyed this news himself to Epress.am, after registering his candidacy.
Apart from Mikaelyan, Hrazdan’s current mayor, Republican Party of Armenia member Aram Danielyan is also registered as a candidate in the upcoming mayoral elections.
As for who is going to head his pre-election campaign, Mikaelyan said this hasn’t been decided yet.
Asked whether he expects the elections in Hrazdan to be held fairly and justly, the opposition member said, “We will try to hold free and fair elections; we will fight against injustice.”
Asked what is the difference between the Sasun Mikaelyan of today and then MP Sasun Mikaelyan (who was elected in 2007 but was deprived of his mandates and immunity after Mar. 1, 2008), the mayoral candidate said there is no difference since he “always had his point of view and views.”
Recall, Mikaelyan was Hrazdan’s first mayor, while Danielyan has held the position since 2002.
