thing", – the press secretary of "Orinats Yerkir" Party Susanna

circulated today. According to CEC results Balasanyan won elections

As Susanna Abrahamyan told, Samvel Balasanyan’s secede application
was represented not to the party, but to the head of the election
committee of 35th electoral district Maxim Shahbazyan.

Maxim Shahbazyan in his turn confirmed the mentioned fact: Samvel
Balasanyan did present a secede application after winning the elections
at the given district. "First he was nominated as a "OY" member but
as soon as he got the National Assembly deputy chair his application
was received", – Shahbazyan added.
