ArmInfo.Civil Contract, together with its accomplices, decided to expel the leader of the largest party, National Progress, Hayk Marutyan and other opposition members of the Council of Elders from the Yerevan Council of Elders, reads a statement by National Congress.
"This legally and politically erroneous action pursues exclusively one goal: to silence the opposition and deprive it of the opportunity to fight the harmful decisions of the corrupt and incompetent city authorities," the National Progress party noted.
The right of oppositionists to express their political position is one of the most important principles of democracy and one of the pillars of local self-government. "Thus, the ruling minority ignores the voices of every Yerevan citizen who voted for our strength," the statement says.
Time has shown that the current government does not care about the values it proclaims and is guided exclusively by narrow group interests. National Progress is confident that the only issue that makes sense to discuss with this government is the removal of the pseudo-mayor, who is too expensive for the health and pockets of the citizens.
