Karapetian seeks a debate with the HAK
The leader of the People's Party, Tigran Karapetian says the campaign is proceeding without major incidents except for a few minor conflicts.
The mayoral candidate thinks the struggle is especially boisterous between three forces representing the authorities and their stooges, radical opposition and constructive opposition.
By a constructive opposition Tigran Karapetian means the People's Party.
"The struggle is especially tense between the Armenian National Congress and the Prosperous Party of Armenia as the Republican Party has fully exhausted itself. I consider none of them my rival as I act on another level," Tigran Karapetian told a press conference on May 15.
When asked which candidate the leader of the People's Party would like to debate with, Mr. Karapetian said: "I have nothing to say to some forces. But I would like to meet tête-à-tête with the HAK and ask them straightforward questions. We love everyone and don't want to enter into a conflict with any of them. They split the public to extort votes. But all fair and honest people will vote for the People's Party. They know that I have spent ten million over the last ten years. They said Karapetich would leave the country after the election but as you see I am still here and don't intend to leave my place," says Tigran Karapetian.
The People's Party Leader is discontent with TV Companies who show 5-6 people at his meetings. He also criticized the Orinats Yerkir (OYK) and Republican parties for applying administrative levers and pressure.
"OYK still remains a tool in the authorities' hands," says Mr. Karapetian.
