The Marxist party will actively participate in the regional elections on September 23rd, the party leader Davit Hakobyan said to “1in.am News and Analyses”.
We remind that on September 23 regional elections will take place in 5 regions – Aragatsotn, Gegharquniq, Vayoc Dzor, Tavush and Kotayq. Before that, on September 9th there will be regional elections in Ararat, Armavir, Shirak, Lori and Syuniq.
Davit Hakobyan’s party will not nominate its own candidate but will support the preferred candidate in Tavush, namely in Berd and Dilijan. “We will not nominate a candidate, but will keep the ones that there are. We will decide who to support. If there are serious personalities irrespective of party, who can really develop the region, we will give our support.” – said the chief Marxist.
To the question why Tavush, he answered, that it is his birthplace and is familiar to him. “I can’t have all the regions at the center of my attention. I am more concerned by its destiny; it is border region and is endangered. We must give our attention to this region, as the migration lever is also high here, the victims from snipers are from these villages” – he said. The leader of Marxist party mentioned that he is ready to support PAP, ANC, ARP in case the candidate is a “serious person”.
We inquired why Davit Hakobyan doesn’t put his candidacy himself. “Do you offer me to be a candidate?” he asked and added that he is preparing for coming presidential elections. “I will enter electoral marathon starting from November. Now I am more interested in thirst”.
