Head of the "Orinats Yerkir" faction, owner of the Gyumri Beer
plant Samvel Balasanyan, having been elected the fourth convocation
Parliament deputy from the 25th district of Shirak region, gave no
application to "OY" about his withdrawal from the party.

As the "OY" spokesman Susanna Abramyan noted, the rumours on
S. Balasanyan’s withdrawal have not been verified as the leadership
of OY could not contact with S. Balasanyan these days. So, we can
say nothing definite at this moment", she said.

To note, the brother of the Chairman of the Union of Armenians of
Russia Ara Abramyan, Sergey Abramyan, also intends to shortly leave
"OY". To recall, one more owner of the Beer plant Hakob Hakobyan also
left the "OY" party even before the election. If the rumours about
S. Balasanyan’s withdrawal from OY are confirmed, the party will have
only 8 mandates in the new Parliament instead of 19 in the Parliament
of third convocation.
