YEREVAN. – Mayor Vanush Amiraghyan of Armenia’s Noyemberyan city is not showing up for work for over a week, and he is not on vacation either, Haykakan Zhamanak daily writes.  

“A Noyemberyan resident told our reporter that when they had asked the Mayor why he was not coming to work, he had responded that he is at the [ruling coalition’s Republican Party of Armenia] RPA [regional] headquarters, which he manages.   

Yesterday [Friday], when our reporter asked the Mayor over the phone to comment on his absence [from work], he said: ‘There is no such thing!’ And when the reporter informed [him] that he [Amiraghyan] himself had told the citizens that he is at the headquarters, the Mayor responded: ‘Goodbye!’,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
