"Have you received an offer to move to the executive branch?" the journalist asked Yerevan's deputy mayor Armen Pambukhchyan, who sharply answered "No".
Referring to the recent dismissals, Pambukhchyan mentioned: "I think it is a standard political process and there is no need to personalize people. All the released colleagues are also our friends, we have traveled together.
He also mentioned that he does not know how correct Pashinyan's decision to fire the officials is.
When asked if he himself raised the issue of Andranik Kocharyan's dismissal at the meeting of the "Civil Contract" party board, the deputy mayor said no.
"At the meeting of the board, we discuss various issues from different partners, I personally and personally do not have any problem with Andranik Kocharyan."
