This is the first sitting of the Yerevan city council after Hayk Marutyan was dismissed from the post of mayor. At the December 22 special session, the ruling majority "My Step" Faction of the council had expressed no confidence in Marutyan.

The matter of appointing the First Deputy Mayor of Yerevan is also on the agenda of today’s sitting. Levon Hovhannisyan, a member of the Council of Elders, will be nominated for this position. Previously, this position was held by incumbent mayor Hrachya Sargsyan.
