Candidate for deputy Van Bayburdian, who was running for the Georgian parliament on the majority voter, withdrew candidacy from the election. As reported by "A-Info" agency, he motivated his refusal that the availability of several Armenian candidates from the Tsalka region mainly populated by Armenians can lead to a situation that none of the Armenians succeeds. At that V. Bayburdian emphasized that Hayk Meltonian had the most real chances for victory.
