"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"Hours after the arrest, Mikael Ajapahyan rejected his candidacy for the post of Prime Minister, saying that the spiritual work is being raised above everything.
Then they spread that he did not receive the blessing of the Catholicos, which, apparently, did not hope for the situation and receive Pashinyan's benevolence.
According to our information, Edmon Marukyan, who offered Ajeaquealyan's candidacy, is working that His Holiness approves to nominate Ajapahyan, which is a signature of 36 deputies, which is enough for the project to be put into circulation.
By the way, Ajapahyan did not rule out his candidacy in the previous interviews, saying that if he bless His Holiness, why not? They do not reveal from whom Marukyan negotiating with His Holiness do not reveal.
It should be reminded that weeks ago Hovik Aghazaryan and Hakob Aslanyan offered Marukyan's candidacy, but the opposition did not join. At the church on the church, Marukyan stated that he was withdrawing his candidacy. The "Armenia" bloc also agreed, "I have the honor", but after 2 hours, when Ajapahyan rejected the proposal.
They are circulating that Serzh Sargsyan has advised His Holiness to keep his sacred. "
