WomenNet.am interviewed Anna Kostanyan, 10th in the proportional list of the “Bright-Armenia” party, about the intention to nominate in the extraordinary parliamentary elections and the role of women in politics. She was nominated by the party’s territorial electoral district N2 (Arabkir, Ajapnyak, Davtashen).<\/p>\n

– The deputy mandate is not an end in itself for me, and I came to my mind just a few years ago, at some point when I encountered a problem that forced me to understand that in our country the citizen remains unheard, silent, powerless. And in this issue he faces almost any field. There are key and deep-rooted issues that I can speak about and offer solutions. Here you can come back saying that it can be done without a parliamentary mandate. Yes, one can come up with some initiatives, but the protection of the citizen’s interests at the legislative level gives a different status to the initiatives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You know, our society is very sensitive and especially during the pre-election period it is important to formulate a message from which a person can only get sincere and targeted signals from the candidate. The best character of a prominent politician has not yet been outlined for me, and I am ready to act on behalf of the people, striving for that character, and bearing the burden of understanding the issues and proposing solutions to them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
