Arguments and Fistfights Erupt in Gyumri's CP Headquarters After Defeat: 'Hraparak'

The newspaper 'Hraparak' reports: 'After defeat in the Gyumri elections, an argument and fistfight occurred in the CP headquarters in Gyumri. The members began to blame each other for the loss, attacking one another, and there were even insults and physical confrontations. The dispute particularly involved CP mayoral candidate Hovhannes Harutyunyan and former governor, now Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations Karen Sarukhanyan.

According to our source, the altercation started with a statement from CP MP Gurgen Arsenyan, who accused Gyumri's CP members of saying, 'You roam around with Nikol Pashinyan's picture on your chests, but did nothing to win.' Then, Karen Sarukhanyan blamed governor Hovhannes Harutyunyan for poor, non-teamwork performance, to which Harutyunyan adequately responded by accusing him of playing dirty politics.

During the dispute, sexual insults and scuffles began. Nazeli Baghdasaryan attempted to speak but was chastised, told that her guilt in the loss wasn't small either, as she had included people in the list who were largely unrecognized. Later, a certain fervent supporter of Nikol, named Suro Torosyan, went live on Facebook, where he unleashed the most offensive remarks towards the defeated CP members in Gyumri, including Nazeli Baghdasaryan, Arsen Torosyan, and others. However, a few hours later, this user's live stream was already removed from Facebook.'
