People might forget the platform
The Armenian Labor Socialist Party is not distributing its pre-electoral platforms yet. According to chairman of the party and running mayor Movses Shahverdyan, voters will read the platform and forget about it if the party distributes it beforehand. To avoid that, the party has decided to distribute the platform at the end of May.
Movses Shahverdyan says that he is not running in the elections to become mayor.
"Our first goal is to have a party with a socialist ideology enter the political field, the government, including city council," said the ALSP chairman.
According to the chairman, if the party receives so many votes and one of the members is elected mayor, the latter will be the best mayor that Yerevan has ever had.
Movses Shahverdyan doesn't understand the point of holding rallies. But he doesn't blame those who hold them because that is their style and tactics.
"There are parties that reach success through rallies and there are other who take other roads. The important thing for us is for citizens of Yerevan to know that there is a party with this ideology."
The party will hold outdoor meetings with citizens. According to Shahverdyan, voters must cast their votes for the ideology and not a certain individual.
