The Iravunk daily of Armenia writes as follows, in particular: According to active reports circulating among CC [i.e. the ruling Civil Contract Party and its parliamentary faction] members, the results of the Vagharshapat [also known as Etchmiadzin] elections have given [PM] Nikol Pashinyan a different kind of drive.

On the night of the election results, he personally called the minister of TAI [i.e. Territorial Administration and Infrastructure] and said that he had not expected it, but was impressed with the forces he had invested.

Moreover, according to the same reports, the minister of TAI will soon move to an even higher position, and the practical launch of the campaign against the Catholicos [of All Armenians. Karekin II] is planned for the day of the inauguration of the mayor of Vagharshapat.
