Council of Elders led by Nikol Pashinyan.

During the conversation with the journalists the leader of newly 

established party Yerkir Tsirani Zaruhi Postanjyan, who leads the 

list of the party in the elections of Yerevan Council of the Elders, 

stated that she would not accept false political conglomerates, which 

consolidated not around ideology, but the idea of participating the 

elections. "I do not know what is Yelk, we fight for the entrance. We 

intend to conquer Yerevan Mayor's Office", she noted. 

Parliament Speaker of the fifth convocation, member of the RPA Galust 

Sahakyan also stated that he is not familiar with Yelk bloc, despite, 

two from its leaders are the deputies of National Assembly (Nikol 

Pashinyan and Edmon Marukyan). "I know that two members from that 

bloc were the representatives of the Republican Party (supposedly, he 

was talking about ex Prime-Minister Aram Sargsyan and member of the 

Party Citizen Contract Sasun Miqaelyan. ed). I know only them", 

Sahakyan assured noting, that the bloc was formed only to participate 

the parliamentary elections.

The head of the faction which did not enter the Parliament of the 

sixth convocation Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan stated 

that all real opposition forces today remained out of the Parliament, 

by that suspecting oppositionism of Yelk bloc. According to him, 

ANK-PPA do not participate Yerevan elections not to legitimate 

electoral processes, which are being arranged on the bases of 

violations and bribery. "And those who participate these elections, 

legitimate them" Zurabyan stated, meaning Yelk bloc.
