YEREVAN.- Mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan is not commenting on rumors about his possible appointment to the post of Armenia’s Prime Minister.

“I will not comment on the reports. I have repeatedly stated the reports are untrue,” he told the Armenian Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper.

Asked what he would say if he was offered the post, Karapetyan said it is better not to speak in the subjunctive mood.

“I did not feel a burning desire to become a mayor. So, now the answer is: I see humor of the situation,” he said.

Asked about government’s work, Karapetyan said he assesses it differently refusing to explain what he means by saying “differently”, the newspaper writes.
