YEREVAN.- Orinats Yerkir party will participate in the May 5 elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan.

Speaking during the briefing in parliament, head of Orinats Yerkir parliamentary group Hovannes Margaryan said the party will hold a meeting to confirm proportional list and candidate for the post of mayor.

In his turn, head of Heritage parliamentary group Ruben Hakobyan said they had not discussed their participation in the elections. Decision will be voiced in the next few days, he added.

Head of ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction Armen Rustamyan said they had no final decision either.

“I think the opposition should consolidate to participate in the elections. Experience showed that consolidation of political forces is effective. I do know whether we will manage to do so,” he said.
