Chorrord Ishkhanutyun: Row brewing between former and current mayors of Gyumri
A new row is brewing between the current mayor of Gyumri - Samvel Balasanyan and the city’s ex-mayor Vardan Ghukasyan, according to ‘Chorrord Ishkhanutyun’ paper. The municipality yesterday suspended bus services on route 22 owned by V. Ghukasyan’s son, Spartak Ghukasyan.
“Naturally Vardan Ghukasyan and his family were displeased. Such a decision taken in a situation when the relations between Ghukasyan and Balasanyan are, to put it mildly, already strained may lead to unforeseeable consequences,” the paper writes.
