Journalists have tried to find out from the former head of National Assembly   Galust Sahakyan why Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) did not nominate a mayoral candidate.

Galust Sahakyan explained that the current authorities did not accept the fact that the RPA had made Yerevan into a pleasant pole that it was never before. “That’s why we do not nominate a candidate because even if that candidate succeeds, there will be fight again for being Mayor of Yerevan.”
