"Being a native of Yerevan is not compulsory for being included in the
city authorities," member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau, head of
the Dashnaktsutyun faction of the National Assembly Vahan Hovhannisyan
told a press conference today. He noted that there are many Diaspora
Armenians in the ARF candidate list, and the top three candidates
are not natives of Yerevan. He justifies this by saying that the
authorities have declared that Yerevan is the capital of all Armenians.

Vahan Hovhaniisyan is concerned about the current situation on
the domestic political field. Today he spoke about the scuffles
in different communities which have already become usual. The most
recent accident occurred between the coalition partners. This time
it was the turn for representatives of the Republican and Prosperous
Armenia Parties to clarify relations.

"This tension among our society results in broken jaws, quarrels
and even murders. This is an impermissible phenomenon and, I think,
that our law-enforcement bodies should react rapidly and harshly,
because this tension brings about an explosive atmosphere. On March 1,
2008 we witnessed the danger such explosive atmosphere contains."
