PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage opposition party hasn’t yet decided on the candidates for local government elections, the party’s secretary general said.

“We will announce our decision in the near future. Heritage representatives in Armenia’s different communities may run for local government elections, including those of city council and community heads,” Stepan Safaryan said.

Dwelling on his standing for elections in #1 electoral district, he noted that no development has yet affected his decision to again nominate candidacy.

Asked about his reaction in case other political forces endorse him, the party member named voters’ support as the greatest backing.
