YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: The Soros guard has retreated from its previous positions on the [ruling] CC [Civil Contract Party] electoral list [for the snap parliamentary elections on June 20].

The most outstanding Soros [member], NSC [National Security Council] Secretary Armen Grigoryan, his brother-in-law Sos Avetisyan are not included [in the list].

Although it was previously said that Maria Karapetyan, the leader of the "faction" of Soros [members], is in the leading positions [on this list], she is only the 24th.

It is not ruled out that this is another "cleverness" by [acting PM Nikol] Pashinyan. Taking into account the [negative] public attitude towards this [political] team, he has decided not to target himself in an already difficult situation, and when he manages to take power again, he will appoint those who are left out to positions in the executive [branch of power].
