YEREVAN. – Voters’ participation in Armenia’s Spitak mayoral election was high (53-54%), in case when the only candidate was the acting Mayor, ruling Republican Party (RPA) MP Hovhannes Sahakyan told the journalists on Monday.

According to him, voters are active as they vote for the one whom they trust.

“If opposition does not share this, let it participate in the elections and prove the contrary,” he said adding the opposition has adopted a policy of defeat, which will likely to repeat in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

To note, the only candidate for the Spitak city Mayor’s elections was the acting Mayor.
