The Republican Party Plans to Take Over the Position of Abovyan Mayor

The newspaper “Iravunk” reports: “It is no secret that the relations between Kotayk Governor Romanos Petrosyan and the Mayor of Abovyan are, to put it mildly, not flowing in the same river. Petrosyan continues to insist that the mayor, who is affiliated with the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), has engaged in illegal land trafficking, and considering all this, the ruling party intends to nominate its own candidate.

According to preliminary information, the ruling party will propose the candidacy of Deputy Governor Arnak Avetisyan,” said a source from “Iravunk,” adding that they do not want to announce this yet, so as not to further inflame the already tense relations between the Republican Party and BHK. The deputy governor is the chairman of the Republican Party’s organizational council in Abovyan. What would be wrong with having one more large city under their control; they will be well aware of what is happening in Gagik Tsarukyan's hometown, who is in charge of what.
