ArmInfo. In the next elections, Tigran Avinyan will be nominated for the post of Mayor of  Yerevan. This was announced on April 28 during a briefing with  journalists by current head of the metropolitan municipality Hrachya  Sargsyan.

In particular, he said that he would be in this post for a year and a  half, after which the candidacy of the former deputy prime minister  of Armenia would be nominated, then the election process would  follow. In this regard, Sargsyan stated that he wants to complete the  programs he has begun, and only after that leave the post of mayor.

The current head of the Yerevan Municipality did not express any  disagreement with such a development of the situation. He noted that  he served as first deputy mayor for 5 years, after which he began to  head the metropolitan Municipality. "The experience that I have  accumulated here for so long, I will apply for good elsewhere," he  stressed.

It should be reminded that at the end of December last year, Hayk  Marutyan was dismissed from the post of Mayor of Yerevan. The Council  of Elders voted for the candidacy of Hrachya Sargsyan with 44 votes  in favor and 10 votes against by secret ballot.
