Authorities give a signal
Members of the Heritage Party were not seen on the rostrum during a March 1 rally organised by the main opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK).
Heritage Leader Armen Martirosyan says their party members were present at yesterday's rally, but as usual "they were among the public."
With regard to the HAK's decision to take a temporary "timeout," the leader of the parliamentary opposition said: "Each political force is free to decide its strategy and make calculations."
Armen Martirosyan also noted that the Heritage and the HAK will name a joint candidate for the coming election to the city mayor. They haven't made a final decision yet as the discussions with the HAK are still underway.
Asked what he thinks of the Republicans' decision to nominate the district head of Kentron commune, Gagik Beglaryan, for the mayor, the Heritage leader said: "The authorities' decision signals that the upcoming election will hardly differ from the previous ones."
