ArmInfo. Power in Yerevan must belong to its residents, the leader
of the People’s Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan said during an
opposition rally today.

"Today, power in Yerevan is usurped. The only way-out is voting on
May 31.

We urge you to come and vote for the ANC if you want to see your city
revived," Demirchyan said. Yerevan has lots of problems and ANC will
solve them in case of victory.

Today’s rally is part of the ANC’s electoral campaign for the post
of mayor of Yerevan. The law on local self-government in Yerevan
stipulates that the mayor should be elected by a council of 65 elders
(to be elected May 31).

The first number on the list of the party having polled majority of
seats in the council should automatically be proclaimed as mayor.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
