‘Haykakan Zhamanak’: Victor Mnatsakanyan Being Persuaded to Withdraw Resignation

The newspaper ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ reports that Viktor Mnatsakanyan, the head of the Kentron administrative district, made a Facebook post on October 24 announcing that he has submitted his resignation. He stated, 'My decision to leave the position has no political motives and is purely a personal decision.'

Yesterday, we learned that Mayor Hayk Marutyan has yet to sign Mnatsakanyan's resignation request. The mayor's press secretary confirmed this fact but justified it by stating that Marutyan is on vacation.

According to our sources, he has traveled to the Czech Republic. However, the delay in signing the resignation has nothing to do with the vacation, as efforts are being made to persuade Mnatsakanyan to withdraw his resignation request.
