Avinian on the Removal of Posters Featuring Samvel Karapetyan

It is merely an issue of upholding legality, but nonetheless, we also understand the family's situation to some extent, and there are places we haven't approached at all. These remarks were made by Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinian during a conversation with reporters regarding the removal of posters featuring Samvel Karapetyan, the owner of the 'Tashir' group, from various locations.

In response to the question of how it happens that his campaign posters are legal while those featuring Samvel Karapetyan are not, Avinian replied, 'Because the campaign posters were created within the framework of the election campaign, and my competitors had that opportunity as well.'
