ArmInfo.The ruling Civil Contract party unilaterally terminates the memorandum of cooperation signed on October 30, 2021 with the Balasanyan Bloc social party. This is stated in a statement released by the Civil Contract.
The ruling force said in a statement that deputy mayors Artur Papikyan and Vahagn Mkrtchyan will submit their resignations. According to them, this decision in the Party was due to the fact that Gyumri is not governed in accordance with the RA legislation, and shadow governance is being carried out in the city.
"And this, in turn, complicates both the activities of the Gyumri mayor's office and the work of representatives of the Civil Contract in the executive levels of the municipality," the statement notes. The Civil Contract faction in the Council of Elders of Gyumri will hold a press conference on December 11 at 1:00 pm on the current situation and further actions. It will take place at the "Dialogue" media center (address: Gyumri, Alek Manukyan St. 1/2).
Let us add that the ruling party took only the second place in the Gyumri elections. No power has a majority in the representative body of the second city of Armenia. And they gained power by uniting with the party of the former mayor of Gyumri, Balasanyan Bloc party.
