Armenia’s former parliamentarian Hakob Hakobian has not withdrawn
his candidacy and will struggle to restore his deputy’s mandate in
Yerevan’s Election District 8, Advocate Melania Arustamian said to A1+.

As Hakobian’s authorized representative I would be the first to know
about his decision to withdraw from the race," adds the advocate who
is unaware of her client’s whereabouts.

Chairman of Election District 8, Oleg Grigorian informed A1+ that none
of the candidates has withdrawn his candidacy as of September 30, 2009.

Three candidates have been nominated at the election district –
former MP Hakob Hakobian, Leader of the Marxist Party David Hakobian
and freelance Koryun Nahapetian.
