«My Step» Also Has Reservations Towards Marutyun. Davit Khajakyan
«Hraparak» newspaper writes, "One of the strategic programs of the mayor is the construction of a new metro station. To what extent is the start of the project realistic in 2020? We asked Davit Khajakyan, the head of the 'Bright' faction of Yerevan City Council. 'I am concerned that this project, like Hayk Marutyan's other 'strategic' declarations, may be torpedoed, because until now, there have been no public announcements regarding investments.'
And what about the strategic 'KamAZ' trucks? They were purchased urgently; is it true that the swift acquisition from a single source was due to the connections of the director of 'KamAZ-Armenia' with Marutyun? 'I won't delve into that. I'll just say that the 'KamAZ' trucks were indeed purchased under anti-competitive conditions and are now idle.' Why aren't you fulfilling your opposition role? 'We are told that there is still no operator; the operator was supposed to be a community organization that has not yet performed its functions.' Why? 'Numerous works were supposed to be carried out, which have not yet been completed.'
Therefore, this is a failure; who should be held accountable? 'Prime Minister Pashinyan and Mayor Marutyun.' Pashinyan is satisfied with the mayor's performance. 'Marutyun has a very short time to rectify the situation; soon he will complete a year in office. God forbid, we record a complete failure when summarizing that period.' And? 'I believe there will be interesting developments.' New elections? 'Let the question remain open... however, remember that the latest approach to salaries was not approved by the 'My Step' faction, which means that there are also reservations within the majority of the council.'
