Armenia’s former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan on Thursday unveiled plans to run for the National Assembly in the proposed snap elections.
“It is the constitutional right and at times, especially in this difficult situation, also the obligation of each individual to join the elections. I, as a citizen of Armenia, will have my participation in the process, but I still have to decide with which political team or in what format,” he told a program aired on Kentron TV.
Ohanyan reiterated the opposition claims that fair elections cannot be held under the current regime, which will use “all administrative resources” to win them.
“That is why the Homeland Salvation Movement, all 17 parties comprising it call for the election of a new person to organize the electoral processes,” the former minister said.
