"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"Edmon Marukyan's LAP applied to the administrative court 2 weeks ago and refused the post-election lawsuit it filed in Vanadzor, because of which the council of elders has not been able to elect a community mayor for 3 years.
LAP, let's remind, appealed the results of the 2021 elections, and the court prohibited the council of elders from electing a leader while the lawsuit is being investigated.
"Thanks" to Marukyan, Pashinyan was able to appoint Arkady Peleshyan, a representative of the criminal world, as the representative of the community head.
The elected mayor Mamiko Aslanyan was imprisoned for 2 years in order to take Vanadzor away from the elected power.
Marukyan received the position of ambassador for Pashinyan's special assignments in return for his service to the government.
After a long trial, last September, the court finally made a decision, but LAP did not receive any mandate. Even today, they continue to keep the ban on council meetings, and now Akai's HASK party has appealed to the court and appealed the verdict.
Marukyan's application to withdraw the claim should be examined by the appellate administrative court in January.
If the case is dismissed, the Vanadzor Council of Elders will be able to hold a meeting and elect a community leader. If he is not elected, the council of elders will be dissolved and new elections will be held.
Although it is not excluded that the government will find new ways to drag out the judicial process."
