Former governor of Syunik, Melikset Poghosyan, who was the adviser of Defense Minister Suren Papikyan in recent years, was relieved of his post yesterday, but intends to live an active life. According to our sources, he wants to convince the members of the CP of the region to nominate his candidacy in the local government elections to be held in Goris in the fall.
Among the candidates is also his sister's son Davit Ghulunts, who is currently the head of Tegh community, and Tegh will be merged with Goris. However, Melikset Poghosyan is trying to convince CP members that his candidacy is more competitive, he is loved locally, unlike his sister's son, and if he runs himself, Arush Arushanyan is unlikely to win a landslide victory. Naturally, Arushanyan, who has a "chocolate" relationship with the authorities, will also be nominated, although CP is still somewhat wary of him and does not consider him "its own", so it is very would like to have such a candidate who would defeat Arushi.
The point is that they have an internal decision in the CP to nominate only party members, and Arushanyan is not ready to be completely embarrassed by joining the CP. If Melikset Poghosyan is nominated, he cannot defeat Arushanyan, but he believes that he will not let him win with a large percentage. Whether KP will bet on him, our sources could not answer.
