Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, has gone without a mayor since July 9, when Taron Margaryan resigned from the post, and the issue regarding his replacement remains up in the air due to differing views on what the law on local self-governance states on the matter.
An Armenian delegation led by Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan participated in the 5th Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit that took place in Tbilisi on July 17 and 18.
Defendant Pavel Manukyan told the court that Gagik Mkrtchyan, the policeman who was shot and later died during the July 2016 seizure of a Yerevan police building, was not shot by Armen Bilyan, who has been so charged, but by Edward Grigoryan.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has picked Narek Ghahramanyan as acting mayor of Kapan, a town of some 35,000 that serves as the capital of Syunik Province.
