Bürkli was accompanied by several other members on her election list, including French Armenian Alexis Govdjian, who is fourth in the list, Nouvelles d’Arménie reports.      

If Bürkli is elected Paris 9th District Mayor, Govdjian may become deputy mayor.   

The mayoral candidate is well acquainted with the Armenian community, and she speaks about the “Armenian spirit.”
