Imagine, I&#8217;m a Dashnak [Armenian Revolutionary Federation member] and I write editorials. In this case, you as readers would think I&#8217;m writing not as a reporter but as a party member,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the outcome of the elections, he said, Yesayan no longer works at Aravot. Despite this, Abrahamyan continued, Yesayan remains one of his closest friends.<\/p>\n<p>The former reporter told Henaran Press Club that she can&#8217;t imagine her life without Aravot, but she agrees with the editor&#8217;s view that when one is engaged in politics, she should leave journalism. &#8220;Of course, Aram is still my friend, my confidante, my consultant,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked where she intends to work, Yesayan said, &#8220;I think that HHK will receive the majority of votes on May 6 [election day] and I will be elected as a deputy and will work in parliament.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo from Margarit Yesayan&#8217;s Facebook page.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) member Margarit Yesayan (pictured), 26th on the HHK&#8217;s list of candidates&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":169516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[65943,39540,39539,12533],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169586"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
