"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"The situation created in Gyumri was discussed yesterday at the meeting of the CP department.
Although the government had a preliminary decision to hold extraordinary elections in Gyumri on December 29, Pashinyan conveyed to the team the opinion of lawyers that until the legislative case in Gyumri is not rectified, it is not possible to call elections.
The point is that the head of the community or the MP authorizes the polling station commissions to start the electoral process, the CEC does not have such authority by law.
In addition, the previous meeting of the council of elders was also illegal, because, according to the law, the meeting is convened by the decision of the mayor, and since the mayor has resigned and the deputy mayor is under house arrest, there is no convener of the meeting. The staff secretary is not authorized to invite.
In order to solve these issues, it is necessary to make a change in the law to be able to appoint an MP of the community head. In reality, CP's "belly pain" is different, if they had to, they would do what they want by trampling the law this time.
The problem is that they don't have a suitable candidate, they want to delay, appoint their MP to "do a few good things" so that the people of Gyumri will vote for him later. They considered Karen Sarukhanyan, the head of Gyumri KP, as the deputy of the community head, but we were told that the list of KP will probably be headed by another, more authoritative person, because they understand that the people of Gyumri may not forgive Samvel Balasanyan, a man with cancer. , were brought to their knees in criminal cases.
Although they were also dissatisfied with Balasanyan, who formed a coalition with CP.
By the way, yesterday the city cleaners went on strike for several hours, but they were persuaded to stop by promising to pay salaries in 2 days."
