PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage party deputy chairman Armen Martirosyan didn’t rule out the reports suggesting he may top the party’s list during Yerevan City Council elections.

Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter as to who may be included in the list, Martirosyan said no final decision was taken yet.

The party member neither confirmed, nor denied rumors saying Anahit Bakhshyan and Stepan Safaryan come 2nd and 4th in the list.

Zhamanak daily earlier reported that the party is likely to submit a separate list for Yerevan City Council polls, to be headed by deputy chairman Armen Martirosyan.

“Heritage party representative, former MP Anahit Bakhshyan and party secretary, former MP Stepan Safaryan come 2nd and 4th respectively in the list,” the paper reported.
