Hraparak: Henrik Kochinyan wants to become mayor of Vanadzor with the help of PM
Hraparak paper dwelt on local self-government elections scheduled for September.
“The name of former Lori governor, director of Hayavtochan SNCO Henrik Kochinyan has been circulating in Vanadzor for a long time. Kochinyan is rumored to be on close terms with PM Tigran Sargsyan and now wants to become mayor of Vanadzor with the help of PM. By the way, the premier had formerly tried to appoint him as governor of Lori, but his attempts failed and mayor of Alaverdi Arthur Nalbandyan became governor.
Hraparak’s correspondent asked Kochinyan to comment on this rumor, but he refused to answer any questions, branding these talks unserious.
