YEREVAN, MAY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The holding of Yerevan Council of Elders
elections is a good possibility for solving the problem of Armenian
authorities’ legitimacy. RA National Assembly ARFD faction member
Lilit Galstian stated at the May 13 press conference. In her words,
the social solidarity damaged after the last presidential elections
need to be restored in Armenia.
According to L. Galstian, ARFD has always voiced importance of
holding fair election. She considers that the May 31 Council of Elders
elections are of exclusive political significance, as capital city’s
authorities are formed in the country. Summing up the ten days of the

held with a signature peculiar to Armenia: voter buying, use of all
possible resources, etc.
