The Hunchakian Social-Democratic Party will participate in the early elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan, the party said in a statement.

According to the statement, the party has decided to participate in the upcoming elections because the right of the Armenian citizen to elect and be elected has been restored, and the possibility of ideological competition has been created.

"The party's board starts negotiations with political forces”, the statement said adding that the party also considers the possibility of participating in the elections with its own candidate.
