YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11. ARMINFO. Armenian Defense Minister Serge
Sargsyan does not think it strange that the incumbent Mayor of the
town Nor-Hachn swept the election to the local self-government. To
note, Nor-Hachn Mayor Armen Keshishyan is charged with murder.

Talking to journalists Tuesday, Minister Sargsyan said the residents
of Nor- Hachn were well-aware that a person charged with murder
cannot occupy the post. So, they voted for A.Keshishyan in order that
additional election is announced in the town, the minister explained.
