“All elections are important, especially the local government elections because local government is the closest to the people and the people usually judge by the local government bodies,” told A1+ first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan in regard to the local government elections to be held on September 28 and especially the Kentron community elections.

Stressing the importance of the local government elections, the first president said: “I would be happy to always see honest, smart and generous people in local government bodies. The Kentron community head elections are coming up and Ararat Zurabyan is the candidate that fits in with the requirements.”

RA first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan stressed the following while speaking of Kentron community head candidate, head of the Armenian National Movement administration and member of the Armenian National Congress Ararat Zurabyan: “Ararat Zurabyan is a state activist and has been part of the movement since 1988 when he was in his prime. Twenty years have passed and he is still part of the movement. The people’s attitude towards the movement today goes to show that it has justified the means regardless of all of the committed errors. The movement has stood the test of time and I think that the people must vote for people like Ararat Zurabyan and not ordinary people for whom the post is a means to do business.”

Taking into account the previous falsified, corrupted, violent Local Government Elections held in Yerevan, “A1+” asked the first president whether citizens will not see the same scenario during the Kentron community head elections on September 28. “That is exactly what hurts me. I understand that the authorities try to and do everything possible to keep power during the parliamentary and presidential elections, but they can at least hold a couple of fair local government elections. They don’t want anything legal in this country. They want everybody to be like them.”

Ter-Petrosyan believes that even in those conditions the citizens of Armenia have always done what they had to do and called on citizens of Armenia to be more active and vote in all elections. “It’s alright, let them steal. But each citizen must fulfill his duty.” When is the stealing going to end? In response to the question Levon Ter-Petrosyan said: “It will end when somebody stops them. The people must stand up against them.”
