ArmInfo.The head of the "Luys" faction of the Council of Elders of Yerevan David Khazhakyan during the 3rd meeting of the 3rd session of the Council of Elders on November 26 publicly accused the Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Hayk Sargsyan of exceeding the official powers allowed during the period when Hayk Marutyan was on vacation.
According to Khazhakyan, in the absence of the mayor, his deputy adopted about 70 normative acts on behalf of the head of the city, which he did not have the right to do. In this regard, Khazhakyan demanded that the prosecutor's office institute criminal proceedings on the fact of exceeding the official powers allowed in the Municipality of Yerevan.
Khazhakyan explained that the mayor himself can make such decisions, or, in his absence, the first deputy mayor. The head of the Luys faction called this situation extremely dangerous, noting that law enforcement agencies should deal with this issue. Advisor to the Mayor of Yerevan Karen Hambartsumyan explained that the Municipality is ready to justify the legitimacy of such actions, including to law enforcement agencies.
