"We are not aware," Spokeswoman for the Armenian Government Mary
Harutyunyan said in reply to A1+’s question whether Yerevan’s Mayor
Erwand Zakharyan has already resigned office.

The district head of Yerevan’s Kenton commune, Gagik Beglaryan,
is said to assume the post of the city mayor already tomorrow.

Today A1+ tried to accurate the information from the City Hall and
Municipal Council of Kentron. They neither dispelled nor confirmed
the rumours.

We also telephoned the Municipal Council of Avan commune as Avan’s
district head Taron Margaryan is said to have been appointed deputy
mayor. We were told that they are unaware of the appointment.

According to our sources, Erwand Zakharyan has been in a low mood
today. The City Hall’s officials are already packing their suitcases.

Note that Gagik Beglaryan has been nominated by the Republican Party
of Armenia (HHK).
