Yes, Avinyan Will Not Be on the Electoral List: Lilit Makunts

Your reports are correct; yes, Mr. Avinyan will not be on the electoral list; this is his personal decision. This was stated today, May 26, during a conversation with journalists at the National Assembly by Lilit Makunts, the leader of the "My Step" faction.

Regarding Artak Manukyan and Nikolay Baghdasaryan, Makunts assured that they will also not be included in the list by their own choice. “I don't know how it will be later, but they are members of our team, and I respect their decision,” she said, adding that there will still be MPs who will not be included in the CP list.

Makunts has no information about rumors of Avinyan being appointed as an ambassador.
