Lands Have Been Handed Over to the Opposition, Starting from Levon Ter-Petrosyan's Signature: Ruling Candidate Sayean Hayrapetyan

With a high spirit, I go into the election, and I assess my chances positively as a result of our team's joint efforts and communication with the people. This was stated by Sayean Hayrapetyan, the ruling candidate for the Masis community, in a conversation with reporters.

In response to questions about the administrative leverage used by the authorities during the election campaign, as well as his relationship with the Ararat governor, Hayrapetyan said, "In no way has there been such a thing. I am a soldier who participated in the war, I have a lot of combat friends, and they are all my companions."

Regarding his refusal to participate in televised debates, Hayrapetyan replied that he does not debate with an unelected mayor. When asked on what grounds he makes such a statement, Hayrapetyan responded, "Five years ago, he knows why I am saying this."

Hayrapetyan did not answer questions regarding allegations of directives related to distributing social assistance in several communities. To the question of whether it is normal for the national defense force to be part of the government that has handed over lands and to be its representative, Hayrapetyan replied, "No, the opposition has handed over the lands – the signature starting from Levon Ter-Petrosyan has been there to hand over the lands," said Sayean Hayrapetyan, the ruling candidate for the Masis community.
