ArmInfo. Mayor candidate
Vardevan Grigoryan from Prosperous Armenia Party will continue
electoral campaign in Gyumri, Head of PAP Faction Naira Zohrabyan
told ArmInfo's correspondent on September 22.
According to her, he does not intend to withdraw his candidacy
because of his son's death and will continue to run for the mayor's
position. At the same time she stressed that she and other members of
the faction will lead the electoral campaign. "Political team of the
party takes the responsibility for continuing election campaign", she
stressed.
Zohrabyan also added that she does not believe that Vardevan
Gevorgyan's son Arshak has committed suicide. "We will be consistent
to reveal the real circumstances. I cannot understand how a person
who was carrying out organizational tasks in the campaign
headquarters minutes before, could commit suicide. Or how could he
commit suicide with his left hand when his is right-hander?" she
stressed. At the same time the MP added that the criminal case has
been initiated on incitement to suicide. "It is not clear who could
cause him to commit suicide, decisive statements of the law
enforcement bodies that it was a suicide are also strange", Zohrabyan
noted adding that the investigation should provide answers to all the
unclear questions. She added that the situation in Gyumri is rather
tense related to the incident.
