"I am very sorry that Hayk Marutyan had such an attitude before the elections, and as a city mayor candidate previously nominated by the "Civil Contract" and "My Step", did not express public support in the pre-election period, Arayik Harutyunyan, Advisor to the Acting Prime Minister of Armenia, said this during the "Sunday Analytical" program of "Azatutyun" radio station.

"The vote by which Marutyan became the mayor of Yerevan is mostly the force that has already formed a government for the second time. At the moment, we do not have any discussion related to the mayor," he said.

According to Harutyunyan, they should understand how they act in this situation, so that within the political force they have decisions related to the given issue, but the city and the city government do not suffer from it.
