"It can be said that the elections of the head of Vagharshapat community, held on November 16, gave wings to the CP members.
Sources close to the government of "Zhoghovurd" daily report that these elections could be quite decisive for many representatives of the government, which is why they spent a day and night in Vagharshapat to make Argishti Mekhakyan the mayor.
The point is that Pashinyan has repeatedly repeated during several months of meetings of the CP Department that this election can serve as a litmus test for the 2026 parliamentary elections. If they lose in Etchmiadzin, it will mean that they will not have the majority of votes in the parliamentary elections.
And the authorities got down to work. This was also very important for TKE Minister Davit Khudatyan, because in case of failure, he would no longer win Pashinyan's trust, and Pashinyan entrusted Khudatyan with the role of regional responsible for the 2026 parliamentary elections. The latter had done night and day to prove that he was the most reliable in the matter.
Yesterday, it was hotly discussed in the KP that the victory of Etchmiadzin belongs to "Vahram Khachatryan, governor of Mekhakyan-Khudatyan-Armavir", and NA Speaker Alen Simonyan and Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan did everything to show that it was their victory, in which they had no contribution."
