YEREVAN. – Armenian businessman MP Samvel Aleksanyan is the one who is most saddened by the Football Federation of Armenia President and MP Ruben Hayrapetyan’s decision to not run in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, Yerkir daily writes.    

‘“I am very sad, in a very bad mood that my friend doesn’t want to run,’ the businessman said to Yerkir, and added that all day yesterday [Wednesday] he [tried to] convince his friend to change his mind, but to no avail. [And] In response to the observation that now he is alone in the NA [National Assembly], Aleksanyan partly agreed, and noted it is not that he is left alone, but ‘Hayrapetyan was another [type of] friend,’” Yerkir writes.
