Ex-mayor Hayk Marutyan, others could lose Yerevan city council seats

 10:51, 2 February 2024

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, ARMENPRESS. A group of Yerevan City councillors representing the ruling Civil Contract faction have introduced a bill seeking to oust several councillors for what they describe as 'unexcused absences' from the body’s sittings.

The bill will be debated at an extraordinary session of City Council that will be convened by Mayor Tigran Avinyan on February 5. The bill seeks the ousting of former Mayor, head of the National Progress faction Hayk Marutyan and Mother Armenia faction councillors Narine Hayrapetyan, Sona Aghekyan, Gevorg Stepanyan and Zaruhi Postanjyan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
