The ruling Civil Contract Party (CCP) of Armenia is holding a closed congress today. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is also attending the event.
CCP member lawmakers, community leaders, provincial governors, various officials, as well as guests are already arriving at the congress being held in Yerevan's Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex.

The congress was originally scheduled to be held on September 18, but it was postponed due to the tensions on the border with Azerbaijan.
At the congress, the party shall elect the new composition of its board.

The CCP held its previous—fifth—congress in June 2019, and Suren Papikyan—who is currently serving as defense minister—was elected as the chairman of the party board.
