“Hraparak” newspaper writes:
“The ink of the elections has not yet dried, the government is preparing for the municipal elections expected in the fall. The search for candidates has begun. some are already campaigning, regional headquarters will be activated in the coming weeks.
Elections will be held in 3 large communities of Syunik: Goris, which will be joined by Tegh and Tatev communities, Kapan, Meghri. The candidate seems to be well-known in Meghri, a former teammate of Samvel Babayan, an expatriate working community leader of KP This is Khachatur Andreasyan, which is running a campaign on the page of the municipality. All posts begin with “at the initiative of Mayor Khachik Andreasyan”.
Although they do not rule out that if a good candidate is found, the KP will reject him, because Andreasyan, they say, has a warm relationship with the former mayor, who was once in the opposition. Mkhitar Zakaryan with which, according to news, did not support CP in these elections, the family worked for Karapetyan.
There is no final decision regarding Goris either. although they are not against Arush, they want to nominate a candidate to supervise him, a pure CP member. He has ambitions to be the head of the local community Davit Ghulunts.
There is still uncertainty in Kapan. It is possible to hold primaries in all communities like Gyumri, as if the society decides the CP candidates.”
