YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Sasun Mikaelian – National Assembly
deputy, commander of "Sasun" detachment who was arrested under the
criminal case opened in connection with the March 1 events, appealed
to residents of the city of Hrazdan to vote for Mesrop Mesropian at
the May 25 election of Hrazdan mayor. "By making a corrent choice and
defenting your votes, you will reject tomorrow’s servility, flattery,
corruption and unlawfulness," is said in the May 15 message of Sasun
Mikaelian to residents of Hrazdan.
In the indicated election, M. Mesropian’s rival is the current
mayor of Hrazdan, head of the Hrazdan territorial organization of
the Repulican Party of Armenia (RPA) Aram Danielian. The RPA, which
endorses A. Danielian, on May 14 expelled from the party M. Mesropian
for running in the election and violating the requirements of the
party regulations. In his message, the NA deputy also calls on his
comrades-in-arms and co-thinkers to unite and prevent the election
from being rigged. "Don’t be afraid, defend the people’s right of free
vote so that tomorrow we can look frankly in each other’s eyes. And
let no perfidious creature cherish a hope that I and those like me
will remain in prison for a long time as our cause is a just one,"
is stated in Sasun Mikaelian’s message.
