After the extraordinary elections of the Council of Elders held in Gyumri last year in the spring, the authorities do not come to terms with the defeat and from time to time talk about holding elections again in Gyumri.

During the pre-election campaign of the national elections and after it, Nikol Pashinyan spoke to journalists again about holding emergency council elections in Gyumri.

Gyumret public figure Gevorg Avagyan according to him, Nikol Pashinyan does not have the right to hold special elections in Gyumri, he does not have such powers, because special elections are held when the council of elders contests.

“If the council of elders is in place now, providing a quorum, what is the problem?” When Nikol Pashinyan says something like this, it means that he is “passing” over the Constitution, overthrowing the constitutional order. If there is a council of elders in the municipality, there is a substitute for the mayor, what is the basis for holding extraordinary elections?

You still don’t know whether you will be prime minister or not, you are already announcing that there should be new elections in Gyumri.

Standing, they say: what is the condition of the 58th district? The government should have restored it with its plan, people think what the Gyumri municipality should have done.” of 168.am Gevorg Avagyan said in a conversation with

According to him, the people of Gyumri do not have any fault that there is no government in Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan has been the head of the country for 8 years, and Gyumri elects an opposition community leader.

“The beggars will remain upset, no special elections will be held in Gyumri, it is not Samvel Balasanyan who will hand over the power and then go to special elections. Many people here think that it is better to sit down than to participate in the illegal elections of the authorities, which, according to them, should be held in Gyumri.

There is no one who gives power to CP, this is not Akhuryan’s community administration. The people of Gyumri have always rejected the KP and will reject it, let the numbers prove it, they did not get 50% of votes in Gyumri.

540,000 people voted for the opposition, let them be demanding and stand up for their vote so that the government understands how many people voted for the opposition,” added our interlocutor.

He stressed that this is no longer a question of parties, but the question of Armenia has already been decided.

“They raise the excise tax on alcohol, cigarettes, and diesel fuel, fool the people, and make everything more expensive. Now, if we buy cigarettes for 1000 drams, after rising, we have to buy them for 1200-1300 drams. This people must realize all this, stand up for their rights and their country.

When Nikol Pashinyan says that he should hold elections in Gyumri, this should come to the attention of the law enforcement agencies, they should study the basis of what he says such a thing,” emphasized Gevorg Avagyan.
