PAP member Sergey Bagratyan says.
– The governor of Vayots Dzor is your rival in N39 electoral district, and RPA defends his candidacy. He has declared lately that he will be on holiday during the elections and won’t use his administrative levers. Do you believe in his words?
– You should prove it by actions and not by words, if the current governor nominates his candidacy and trusts in people’s assistance, he should send in his resignation and try to win his rival in free and fair struggle.
– Anyway, let’s admit that the nomination of RPA and PAP candidates in the same electoral district is strange enough, why did you nominate your candidacy just in N39 polling station?
– I have nominated my candidacy in this electoral district for the previous time, too and have been elected and it isn’t true that Abrahamyan Serioja won me that time.
– What forces did assist you?
– There was some assistance from ARF, Erkrapah Volunteer Union, as I am EVU member since 1995. I have been non-party till now and became RPA member. The head of party made a proposal, we found out that our projects and problems were close to each other and decided to work together. I assure that we’ll continue our collaboration with PAP till the end.
– How do you remark your possibilities to be elected, there are two forces and both are strong.
– Frankly speaking it was strange for me my rival’s announcement that PAP has nominated a candidate against him. I’m surprised that such a person may carry out policy. Political arena isn’t the arena of arrangements; it’s the arena of rivalry.
If my rival doesn’t agree with my opinion, I invite him to a TV debate. We must give the people an opportunity of election, both authority and opposition. Do you imagine people have one candidate and don’t have the opportunity to elect, we speak about democracy and we must give the people alternative?
