Today the special session of the Lori regional council took place
which was convened by the heads of the communities. Although they had
invited RA Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan to the session too, deputy
Minister of Regional Government Vache Terteryan attended it instead.
The heads of the communities had three main issues in the agenda:
the assessment of the work of former governor of Lori region Henrik
Kochinyan, the reasons for resigning him from work and making a
statement.
At the beginning of the session the community heads voted and decided
to have a closed session without the presence of the journalists. They
decided to protect their rights, but head of the village of Odzun
Meliq Ayvazyan who is famous by the name "Alabash" attacked them
himself. According to the journalists, he was drunk.
Nevertheless, the journalists waited till the end of the session. After
the session deputy Minister of Regional Government Vache Terteryan
informed that "Henrik Kochinyan did not resign himself. It was a
political decision". The journalists weren’t told anything about the
two-hour session.
According to the information of "A1+", some of the community heads
threatened to gather signatures in order to quit the Republican party.
