ArmInfo. The brother of a prominent Russian entrepreneur, Samvel Karapetyan, Republican Karen Karapetyan will not participate in the December parliamentary elections in Armenia. This was stated by himself Karapetyan, motivating his decision "by the state of the political system and some processes that are unacceptable for him." At the same time, he assured that all projects launched by his family will be completed, just as new ones will be implemented.
It should be noted that the RPA formally decided on the participation of the party in the elections, but de jure it will be fixed at the upcoming November 11 meeting of the party. RPA Secretary General Saerzh Sargsyan ordered all Republicans applying for participation in the elections under the proportional system to measure their strength and rating. Currently, Republicans determine their constituencies.
