Hraparak: Maxim Hakobyan wants to nominate nephew for by-election in Syunik
Following the appointment of MP Vahe Hakobyan to the position of Syunik governor, by-election in electoral district N38 in Syunik will be held on September 29, but there is no clarity yet as to who will be the candidates, Hraparak says.
“In any case, the Republican Party of Armenia is waiting for Serzh Sargsyan’s return from vacation and his decision. Currently, only the name of Arnold Hakobyan, the cousin of the newly appointed governor, is mentioned. Vahe and his father, owner of Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine Maxim Hakobyan, reportedly want this,” the paper says.
“Don’t ask me about something which is untrue,” Maxim Hakobyan told Hraparak in reply to its question.
