According to the mutual understanding reached in advance, the "Civil Agreement" faction in Stepanavan will vote in favor of Armen Grigoryan. Lori Marz Governor Aren Mkrtchyan wrote about this on his Facebook page. In particular, he noted: "Due to electoral technical requirements, Mr. Grigoryan had to freeze his membership in the "Civil Contract" party, which he has already submitted an appropriate application for unfreezing. I would like to emphasize that we are not going to formally act as two different factions in the community council, but we will act as a single "Civil Agreement". We congratulate our colleague Mr. Grigoryan for the high public trust." It should be noted that 4 political forces participated in the municipal elections held in Stepanavan on October 25: CP, "Strong Armenia", "Gortsarar" party and "Republic" party.
