Haykakan Zhamanak editor-in-chief commented on resignation of Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan.

As Nikol Pashinyan noted at Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rally, “the sooner representatives of this criminal regime resign, the better the country will do without them. It’s now President Serzh Sargsyan’s turn to follow their suit.”

On October 28, 2011 Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan announced his resignation, citing another position to be assumed and personal reasons behind the decision.
