This information was shared during an interview with Sputnik Armenia.

"It has been decided that four individuals will coordinate the pre-election headquarters: myself, Romanos Petrosyan, Araik Harutyunyan, and Suren Papikyan. Papikyan will be the chief coordinator, essentially the head of the headquarters," Torosyan stated.
