I was also a candidate for mayor, but I lost, it doesn't mean I was bad. Simonyan on the candidacy of Arpi Davoyan

In a briefing with journalists at the National Assembly, the Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan, addressing the question of why the candidacy of KP deputy Arpi Davoyan for the post of Minister of Justice was nominated, and then rejected, said: "And why not?"

Regarding the observation that he does not have a legal education, the Speaker of the National Assembly said that in his opinion he has sufficient knowledge. "It is about the fact that there is no one who should not have the opportunity to compete with the rest. In other words, should we somehow be limited by the wishes and evaluation of this or that person? The person expressed his desire to participate in that discussion, participated, discussed the issue with the team and we moved forward. I was also a candidate for mayor, but I lost, I could not compete with the candidate of that time. But that does not mean that I had little knowledge or that I am bad, that other candidate is good," said Alen Simonyan.

It should be noted that the issue of nominating a candidate for the position of Minister of Justice will be discussed in the CP today. Names of 4 candidates are discussed: CP deputy Armen Khachatryan, Yerevan deputy mayor Suren Grigoryan, Prime Minister's spokesperson Nazeli Baghdasaryan and lawyer Alexander Sirunyan.
