 During the meeting of the political council to take place on Wednesday, the Armenian National Congress will discuss the issue of participating in the local elections. Lyudmila

Sargsyan, the leader of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) and a member of the ANC, communicated this during a conversation with www.aravot.am, answering a question whether the ANC was not going to participate in the local elections and make an attempt to take power from below. Let us remind that before the presidential election, Armenia will go through another, not less important, election period. In the summer and fall local elections will be held in the communities of the republic.

“The issue is on the agenda of the political council, but since the agenda of the political council is rather busy, we didn’t manage to get to that during the last meeting. I think that we will have a serious discussion and will make a decision on Wednesday,” Lyudmila Sargsyan said. We inquired what the internal sentiment was, whether there was inclination to participate in the local elections. Ms. Sargsyan said that the sentiments were different, but they were more inclined to participate, “At the same time, we have to discuss what possibilities, what resources there are, how we can use them, only after which we can make a decision.”

The SDHP leader herself thinks that it will be right, if the ANC participates in the local elections, “If there are chances to win, I think it will be absolutely right, if the ANC participates in the local elections, because those elections will also show whether we will be able to organize and conduct the upcoming presidential election fairly and transparently. The more oppositionists win in the local elections, the more support we may have in the presidential election. Now, we should discuss the possibilities and efficiency of participating, given the resources in hand.”
