Nomination is over, the registration will be completed tomorrow. Then I do not know what will happen, how the forces will demonstrate themselves, I do not know, but at the moment there is no tension in the village », – said the candidate for mayor Vova Sahakyan to Aravot.am-in. He said the 5 nominees are village boys and are well known by the village people. Mr. Sahakyan does not want to talk about nomination of the Republican Party member Arthur Mouradyan. To our questions whether this candidate will bring a new strain with him, he said,- “If I say my opinion it would be perceived as an interested candidate. I can not say, the process will show. The village is quiet.” To our question whether he was not afraid of proposing his candidacy after what has happened to ARF member and village mayor Hrach Mouradyan, he said. “The Dashnaks were not afraid of Sultan Hamid and Russian Nikolay tsar, whom they are supposed to be afraid of? At this moment there is no atmosphere of fear and reckoning in our village.” According to press information, the Republican Party has always sought to establish its authority in this village, to our question as to what the chances are, this time, for the Republican candidate Artur Muradyan who was constantly having contradictions with the ARF slain mayor, Mr. Sahakyan said,- “Every political force enters the arena to take power. I do not know what will happen then. But I am not worried, because we are the kind of winner. We won three elections, we were not afraid of a fight. By always creating artificial atmosphere and bustle, ultimately, the elections were fair, and they were not able to intimidate people. The people took offense for a while, but had gone and made its choice. I am the winning candidate.”
