"Zhoghovurd" daily writes: According to "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper, in the agenda of the KP board meeting scheduled for yesterday, September 15, although initially there was the issue of government candidates in local government elections of Kapan, Meghri and Goris communities of Syunik marz, but the situation has changed. According to official sources of "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper, in the second half of the day it became clear that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan cannot participate in the KP board meeting. As a result, it was decided to hold the meeting under the leadership of the vice president of the CP Department, Gevorg Papoyan.
Since the issue of the candidates of the three major communities of Syunik, according to our information, involved Nikol Pashinyan's personal participation and final discussion, those issues were left out of the agenda of the session. Instead, according to the information of the "Zhoghovurd" daily, one of the main topics of discussion in the KP department was the behavior of KP member Hayk Sargsyan and the statements he made in his last interview.
According to our sources, the department discussed Sargsyan's criticisms and accusations against his former teammates, including the former Speaker of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, as well as his statements about other CP deputies and officials. This is especially remarkable given that the CP department has already applied disciplinary responsibility to Hayk Sargsyan once.
In 2025, on the basis of Alen Simonyan's application, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against Sargsyan, as a result of which he was severely reprimanded. Moreover, in January 2026, Nikol Pashinyan publicly announced that Sargsyan was severely reprimanded by the KP Department months ago, and legal proceedings followed. to announce a reprimand. There is no unified approach to this issue among the board members. One part believes that a new disciplinary procedure should be initiated against Sargsyan and another reprimand should be applied.
The others, taking into account the strict reprimand already applied before, put the issue much harder, noting that another reprimand may no longer be a sufficient measure, and the question of removing Hayk Sargsyan from the party should be discussed. However, according to official sources of the "Zhoghovurd" daily, no final decision has been made regarding Hayk Sargsyan at this time. It is not excluded that the issue will be discussed again at the session of the KP board with the participation of Nikol Pashinyan, and that's when it will become clear that Hayk Sargsyan will face another disciplinary action. punishment, or the CP will take a tougher step by expelling him from the party."
