The Mayor of Gyumri, Samvel Balasanyan, has quit the Prosperous Armenia Party.
“Considering Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan’s decision on leaving politics, I no longer see any commitment to the Prosperous Armenia Party.
“At the same time, being the head of an apolitical organization [i.e. the Gyumri Municipality], I find my further membership in the Prosperous Armenia Party to be inexpedient,” Balasanyan’s respective statement specifically reads.
