"Iravunk" newspaper writes:
"It's not a day for CP members in Gyumri. The upcoming elections are ominous.
It is no longer a secret that the possible participation of MP Martun Grigoryan of the "I have honor" faction of the National Assembly and Vardan Ghukasyan, the former mayor of Gyumri, in the local government elections has mixed up all the playing cards.
According to a rough calculation, the two of them will win at least 80 percent of the votes of the Council of Elders, in the best case, CP may become the third force in the Council of Elders. But there is also a big question here, because it is not yet known what kind of candidate the DOK party, led by Vardan Ghukasyan, will nominate. :
In this case, even the entry of CP members into the municipality building, even as a guard, is being questioned. Officials say that Nikol Pashinyan is also concerned, because this will be a bad precedent before the national elections.
Therefore, he presented an ultimatum to Gyumri's KP members, so that if they don't take 2nd place at least, they shouldn't be upset. The local KP members are sure that in the best case, they will send everyone to the writer's lap."
