Minister turns candidate of the “Prosperous Armenia” party
Health Minister Harutyun Kushkyan will head the "Prosperous Armenia" party's list of candidates running in the elections for city council of Yerevan to be held on May 31. "For us it was a standard to have a notable candidate and Mr. Kushkyan is the one," said speaker for leader of the PA party Khachik Galstyan. Does member of the "Prosperous Armenia" party, Health Minister Harutyun Kushkyan really meet the requirements to be head of city council? In response to that Mr. Galstyan said: "The skills of the doctor will help the mayor diagnose and lead the city in the right direction." The PA press speaker sees nothing wrong with political parties of the ruling coalition participating in the elections with separate candidates. "During the discussions of the coalition the parties decided to participate with separate lists and we approved that decision." The "Prosperous Armenia" party is not concerned about the fact that the Republican candidate has started to make frequent public appearances before the official launch of the campaign. The party is also not concerned about the appointment of the new mayor on the threshold of the elections. In fact, Khachik Galstyan assured "A1+" that Harutyun Kushkyan will win in the elections for mayor of Yerevan.
