ArmInfo. Today’s rally of the Armenian National Congress has started
with one minute silence in the memory of the victims of the May 14
accident at Nairit plant.
The chairman of the board of the Armenian National Movement party
Ararat Zurabyan urged the people to show restraint during the rally
and the subsequent procession from Matenadaran to Myasnikyan Monument.
To remind, the accident at Nairit claimed 4 lives. 8 people were
wounded.
The 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.
