Late in the evening of August 31 the Council of the Republican Party
including 72 members decided with 63 votes not to support Arman
G. Sahakyan, the head of the Ajapniak regional organization of the
Republican Party in the local election in October. Meanwhile, Galust
Sahakyan announced that not only the Republican Party but also other
political parties will support his son. A night after the
`history-making’ decision of the council of the Republican Party, in
the morning of September 1 the head of the Council of the Republican
Party commented on the actions of the political party.
`What opinion should I have if you present the outcome of the voting,’
Serge Sargsyan first threw a stone at Galust Sahakyan, and added, `The
political party is not a pack of wolves, and the political party does
not have to defend any member of the party in any affair. Every member
of the party should realize that they are inside the organization,
there are interests of the organization, there are the regulations of
the party, there is order, and on making decisions for their private
problems they are accountable for their actions, they should think for
themselves. They decide, they make a decision without the political
party, if they do not take into consideration the political party, why
should they expect the support of the political party?’
Serge Sargsyan made his comments at Monte Melkonyan Military College,
where the acting head of the municipality of Ajapniak Artsrun
Khachatryan was also present, who had announced that he will run for
election. Artsrun Khachatryan and Serge Sargsyan were talking warmly.
We asked the chair of the Council of the Republican Party whether it
is possible that the Republican Party will support another candidate
in the local election. `For the time being no, but as soon as the
council of the political party decides to support a candidate, you
will learn,’ stated Serge Sargsyan.
