Social

Dashnaktsutyun party member Hakob Matilyan remains the only candidate for a parliamentary seat in the polling station N 67, as his two rivals Artur Kirakosyan and Vardan Makeyan unexpectedly withdrew from the race.

It should be reminded that Constitutional Court has already recognised this polling station election, where Matilyan was the winner, invalid because of overwhelming irregularities in the course of voting. Kirakosyan says he didn’t participate in the battle, starting at the Constitutional Court. “Vardan Makeyan, who was the second, according to ballot results, won in the Constitutional Court. That’s why I decided to leave them the battlefield”, Kirakosyan said.

And the second challenger Bardam Makeyan, who has won the battle in the Constitutional Court, explained his withdrawal such way: ”It is impossible to hold just elections under the ruling of current authorities”.
