The victory of the electoral list leader of the opposition Shant Bloc, incumbent mayor Gevorg Parsyan, is being celebrated at the Kapan city election headquarters of this bloc.

Parsyan's supporters are chanting "Gevorg, Gevorg," and celebrating his victory under the tunes of traditional Armenian folk music.

As reported earlier, Gevorg Parsyan posted on Facebook the preliminary results of Sunday’s local election in Kapan, according to which the Shant Bloc has received 1,222 votes, whereas the ruling Civil Contract Party (CCP)—just 532 votes.

The CCP electoral list in Kapan is headed by the majority “Civil Contract” parliamentary faction MP, painter Davit Danielyan.

Emil Lazarian: “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
